Default Welsh language scandal forces Big Brother to back track

A few days ago, Big Brother had posted this on the OS early in the morning:




Quote:
Glyn had his first confessional with Big Brother this morning when he popped his Diary Room cherry.

Asked to collect some batteries, Big Brother took the opportunity to tell him off for speaking Welsh with fellow dragon, Imogen.
"But Welsh is British," he countered.

"It's not English and could be considered to be talking in code," asserted a schoolmasterly voice.

Sixth-former Glyn then revealed that he felt spoilt as all his friends were at school doing their A-levels, while he was in the House.

Don't worry Glyn, you'll be gagging for the safety of the exam room in a few nights. Now, no talking, please...
Apparently it didn't go down very well at DS:BB and then later in the afternoon it was changed to this:


Quote:
After wondering whether speaking Welsh was allowed in the House, Glyn was called into the Diary Room for a head-to-head with Big Brother.

"Housemates are free to talk in any established language of their choosing," clarified the masterly voice.

"However, any discussion, in any language, that is deemed against the rules will result in Housemates being punished. Glyn, Big Brother is multi-lingual and is always listening."

So, no cheeky speak with Imogen when times get tough, eh Glyn?
A true dictator in action!


Though they were incredibly wrong in the first place, credit to them for backtracking!

I think they were right to insist that English is the only language spoken. How does it benefit us, the viewers, if we can't understand what the housemates are saying?

On the subject of understanding English, can you stop using text speech?

I can't understand it.

I respect their right to speak in their chosen language and am more than happy to read subtitles. Glad to see that BB saw sense
