It's typical arrogance to assume that they don't need it to be corrected.
I see this crap all the time.
A welsh person could correct their nonsense in a matter of minutes.

^I don't know mate, the one I quoted in the post above you would be a good test question for one of your new applicants :)

It's an absolute shocker isn't it.
Just when I thought this was another crap William thread, I think it will come in very useful to me.

Why call it a 'culture' bus?

Is it part of the culture if you have to make a statement about it, telling people to do it?
