>>>We haven't heard a welsh accent since we arrived
Take a look at the signs above shops and offices in Rhyl, Caran. I can guarantee that you'll see 'Banc' on every national (or multinational) bank. Similarly you'll see lots of signs in Welsh on lots of other buildings that aren't locally-owned (presumably because the companies that run those businesses are worried about offending Welsh-speakers).
However I'll be amazed if you can find a single Welsh-owned business that has a sign in Welsh! (e.g. a local butcher will always just have have 'Butcher, and not 'Cigydd', above his shop).
Anyway, give my love to Rhyl, please. It's a dump but I still like it. (After all, it's the only place where I've been made an offer, in a pub at lunchtime, by the local nymphomaniac!).
