I feel I must step in here and say that reports of our nature have been
greatly exaggerated. We might eat badgers, but we don't burn incomer in
whicker cages... we use steel cages these days ;)

Yep, same here. A lot of our clients, if not most, are local government
and I can see exactly how money is wasted on Welsh language materials. A
client of ours had 200 copies of a local planning document printed in
Welsh and 200 in English. By the end of the year the English documents
had nearly all gone, but the pile of Welsh documents was still around
190 copies :\
