I was only kidding. You seem informed about old civilisations, interesting stuff, worlds away from what we are today.

@PP - fair comment. brit / britain should read brython.. of which there was a general idea of across both islands from 5th & 6th/Roman times onward. Britain didn’t come into being as we know it till a lot later. Brython has as much to do with English as whatever “the talented Mr Behan-Ripley” was saying had to do with Italian.

The Gaels were all over the western coast of Britain and well, well beyond that even i.e. from Dal Riada right down to the south coast of England Dorset et al long before the 5th and 6th Century. This date was the first time that there are reliable written records. We’ve got a few Gael hut/farmstead from before 5th C outside our village.. no sign of any activity from the Welsh/Brythons that lived her prbly because they were still taming sheep and things.

Bring back GLUSTEAIN. OFF TO THE PUB

I don’t know. It sounds like a horrible, stressful job to me. And they all seemed terribly conflicted and unhappy, confused about their salesman personas v their family personalities.

Of course, that maybe just from film and fiction, that I’ve gleaned that perception.

And I really hate when they shout next at you when there’s some old lady still packing her bread and a couple spuds in front of me. I always make them wait until the counter is clear.

I take great issue with pretty much everything you said.
