Interesting Maps

Ah come on, there's loads who tick the RCC box but never set foot in a church. Some answer their census form with aspirations rather than facts.

During the famine the sea, rivers and lakes were full of fish but the Catholic Church forbid their flocks from eating them. True/false?

Are you serious? You actually believe this is credible?!
Where did you come across such a ludicrous claim?

Also, why respond to my post with it?

I disagree . There are several Gaeltacht in Ireland where Irish is the language used . I know that the people are also fluent in English but Irish is their conversational language . Most of native Welsh speakers were taken over in the 14’hundreds very much a niche language .
Even though you heard them speaking in Welsh yo cannot know the level they are speaking . I doubt that there are any Welsh people fluent in conversational Welsh , as opposed to say Donegal lads who speak it as their native language.

Library building deliberately built on US/Canada border 1905. Town services used by both countries. US to close off access

A thick black line runs beneath the seats of the opera house and diagonally across the center of the library's reading room to mark border. The stage and half of the seats are in Canada; the remainder of the opera hall is in the US. The building has different postal codes (93 Caswell Avenue, 05830 and 1 rue Church, J0B 3E2) and different telephone area codes (+1-802-873-3022 and +1-819-876-2471) in its two respective countries.

I know anecdotes are not data but I have spent quite a bit of time on customer sites in Wales. In north Wales, Conwy, Ceredigion, Blaenau Gwent etc the normal language for a lot of the young people was welsh. Not so much among older people. Now I can't comment on their fluency as I don't speak the language but they were using it as their first language in work so they must have been pretty fluent. You even hear it used by customers and staff in shops. I wouldn't get too bogged down by the fluency rates from the census. That 38% figure for Ireland is just complete nonsense.

That’s good news . I’m going off Welsh girls I knew in the 90’s . They had no Welsh apart from hello and goodbye . Pidgin Welsh

Ennis - why is there a large peace symbol therein or what is it?

Maybe the farmer there really really wants a Mercedes and is hoping that a Google Map user (or maybe Aliens?) will get one from him? :P
