The Golden Hornet would thrive even on a Welsh cake binge at the harbour at Solva, followed by a double AA box photo shoot. Just think how the DPF would appreciate a decent ride out! :-D

Popty PingThe lazy for Microwave - but this literally means ‘oven ping’ - so much better than meicrodon.
Ach a fiGet the saliva going on this one - means ‘Disgusting’
Not being funnyUse this before you say something offensive.
Fel rhech mewn pot jamUsed to describe someone as totally useless, or literally, a fart in a jam jar, (sort of).
Dim codi pais ar ôl pisoDon’t cry over spilt milk - but means no point lifting your petticoat after you’ve had a pee (sort of).
