Anglesey hotel bans kitchen staff from speaking Welsh
Carreg Môn hotel, Anglesey Managers at the Carreg Mon hotel say the kitchen language ban is a health and safety issue
Staff at an Anglesey hotel have been banned by managers from speaking Welsh when the head chef is in the kitchen.
The Carreg Mon near Llanfairpwll asked employees not to use Welsh because he does not speak the language and is responsible for health and safety.
The Welsh Language Board (WLB) is to write to the hotel and wants a meeting with the managers.
General manager Ruth Hogan insisted the hotel was not discriminating against the language.
Of its 25 staff, only three are non-Welsh speaking.
She said that there was "no issue about the Welsh language here".
"If anything we encourage the Welsh language to be spoken here. There is absolutely no discrimination against the Welsh or English language here, it's only about safety standards."
A WLB spokesperson said: "With more than 60% of the island's population speaking the language, a figure which rises to 87% in some communities, Anglesey is one of the strongholds of the Welsh language

Re: Na yn areithio Cymraeg.
Why doesnt the chef make an effort to learn Welsh then if it bothers him/her so much? Or why don't they appoint a welsh speaker to be the H&S safety person? I find it hard to believe this has anything to do with H&S and everything to do with a non welsh speaker thinking the staff are talking about them 
If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.

No wonder he doesn't want any Welsh spoken in the kitchen.
He probably thinks they see all talking about penis enlargements.
