I can well understand the findings of this survey. I recall being most piqued at having to fill in an English Census form, with no opportunity for me to record myself as being Welsh for the Statisticians. This was because I live and work in Warrington, Cheshire. Also, if I recall correctly, the Census in Wales asks the question "can you read and speak Welsh"? I know a lot of people who have an understanding of the language, but do not have the confidence or profficency to speak it. It's a bit like my French, I can comprehend it to a fair degree but can only answer 'Oui' ou 'Non', et questions tres facile! I'm lucky in that I'm close enough to a beefy transmitter to receive a decent picture on S4C. I can well sympathise with the people who have difficulties understanding the News. The BBC, in their quest for linguistic correctness, use a very wide scope of vocabulary. This has parallels with their London Colleagues' fervour for the pronounciation of 'The Queen's English'. I think I would welcome the transmission of 'Pobl y Cwm' on the English channels. I still meet numerous people who are unaware of the extent of the language, and I guess anything that raises people's awarenes is a good thing; even if it is through the trials and tribulations of 'Maggie Post' and the inhabitants of 'Cwmderi'.
