tempus fugit

Welsh must be the only language in which  'ashtray' sounds  like the raucous splutter of diseased lungs.  Blwch llwch, meaning dust box, is pronounced 'blooch thlooch' - the 'ch' guttural as in the Scottish 'loch'. 

(Yes, that is a child on a lead, rolling on the pavement. She seemed quite happy and the mother was unconcerned, if indeed she noticed.)
