When is mountain not a mountain.

Is that really what it's called?

Remember the film, The Man who went up a hill ( and came down a mountain) that was set in Wales wasn’t it?

Yes lemon, some locals and lovers of MY mountains are discussing doing the same , modern technology my foot .

Merlot it’s pronounced van, means big summit

merlot

Oh dear!
Some of you are a bad influence on me..

I don’t get the joke

Oh, Annie..
I'm frightened to explain it because you might tell me off for being so childish.

I wouldn’t do that, is it because it’s called big?

Annie, I'm squirming with embarrassment here!
I'm blushing! (And laughing my head off!)

Never mind, x

I too am dying laughing because I am basically a child inside

Ok, carry on, glad I caused you such amusement, I never take part in private jokes

Oh Annie, it’s not private, it’s just stupid, and I know you do not use that kind of language anyway!

‘Schoolboy humour’ is a curse

If one was not familiar with the Welsh language, it looks like it would be pronounced “fanny big”.

We’re laughing over the word ‘fanny’

Yes I have always found Carry On films hilarious

Thank you muffin for explaining. If it had been fanny it would be ffanny, ff is f and f is v.

Doesn’t bother me that it was found amusing, use to it, it’s what some English do to the Welsh.

I am really upset that I am considered a prude though.

better than being a prune Annie.

I'm familiar with the Welsh language, Annie. The man I was engaged to would have laughed and so would the rest of his Welsh speaking family. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder where the English are concerned. Maybe a sense of humour might help?

Was Scotland up in arms when the marvellous Billy Connolly used to take the mickey out of the Scots accent?

My Yorkshire husband enjoys a joke about his native tongue.....Just as well.

Please don't take everything so seriously. There is no offence intended.

merlot, familiar with the welsh language ? You knew f was pronounced v but chose to read it as ff.

I am a prude with a chip on my shoulder!

merlot That’s hilarious?

I read it as it was written, Annie or it wouldn't have appeared funny. Not to you, obviously but you have to accept that sometimes people like to lighten up the contents of a thread. I think you know exactly what I was laughing at because you were quick to point out that f is pronounced v. How did you know I was reading it as f if you didn't know what I was getting at?

Just try not to take offence all the time.

You’re not a prude!

I just know from your posts that you tend not to use coarse language so I try not to use it when speaking to you

Also now I have outed myself as having the sense of humour of a ten year old, sitting here laughing at “fan y big”

muffin get a grip mate. Oh no that sounds wrong too. [

Well i thought it was funny totally childish but hey ho I maybe am, I always want to laugh when Americans talk about fanny bags
