To ask if Haverfordwest is a Welsh speaking area?

The reason I ask is I know someone who was offered s very good job there and they, very surprisingly to me, turned the excellent job offer down.

I’m just curious to know more about the place…

No, I wouldn’t say so but it can be a tricky journey to other parts of wales, let alone the wider uk. Lovely surrounding area but I would imagine its location might be offputting to some.

I don't believe so but depending on where the person you know currently lives it's potentially a very long way away. Might that be the reason?

Reminds me of HCP jobs advertised in some of Wales in the 80s. Ad in English, in the national trade paper; you'd turn up and they'd begin the interview in Welsh... resentfully switching to English 🤣

I don’t believe so, no, but maybe the person just didn’t want to live in or near Haverfordwest?

Thanks for your reply. The person in question was a Welsh speaker from rural Carmarthenshire
