To use my second language to gain an advantage in the Lidl queue?

[SerenYrWythnos]

I live in a town on the Welsh border. So much on the border that parts of my town are actually in England, but the Lidl is in Wales.

It's not a Welsh speaking area at all. Welsh is taught in schools but you don't hear it being spoken out and about - I honestly can't remember the last time I heard anyone speaking Welsh outside an educational setting.

But because it's in Wales, Lidl do all their store announcements in Welsh first, including the announcement that another till is opening and the number of the till.

I speak enough Welsh to know which till is about to open before it's announced in English so I just zoom straight over there when I hear it in Welsh. This gets me dirty looks from people who were ahead of me in one of the queues, but didn't twig which till was opening until it was announced in English. Lidl tends to have mega queues so getting in first at a newly opened till is a major win round here 😁

AIBU to take no notice and carry on being first at Till 5? Or should I wait until everyone has understood what's going on, or should I even give the people ahead of me a heads up?

@SoScarletItWas , translated, they are two-on-fifteen and one-on-ten-on-twenty.

@IVFmumoftwo All of Wales is Welsh. Not all of it is Welsh-speaking. None of Wales is English.

Or Beachley...

@NefiBlw I know. Gotta love vigesimal counting systems.

She said some lived in a town where half is in England and half is Wales. I know known is English although some parts are known as little England.

I thought I knew which Lidl OP meant, but I see others guessing completely different ones. I'm not Welsh, but I do the same thing. I'm a slow mover so I see it as redressing the balance a little.

I meant some areas of Wales are known as little England. I didn't say it was English.

Even in london, if I see a till about to open before others, i zoom over...everyone does. It's nothing to give others dirty look for. Carry on and do you. They should complain to the store to make the announcement in english first if they're so bothered.
