On October 6, 1949, Kingsley Amis wrote to his friend Philip Larkin about the reaction of his father-in-law, whom he passionately detested, to the news that he, Amis, had received an interview for a teaching position in Swansea:You're Welsh? I didn't know that!
From The Letters of Kingsley Amis, p. 215.Won't it be marvelous if Kingsley gets the job!!! Professor Dai ap Faeces is there, who wrote the first really scholarly Welch grammar, I'll get it and show you. . . . So handy for the National Scheissbedsodd, too. What's that?

No need to bother about a hotel---go to some real old countryman's place---I'll show off in the lingo a bit: 'Llgo andw ghet stwft, iu stwpydd olld swd,' he'll say, or perhaps 'Scwm offw, iu blwddy wytt-eddyd chwmp-an-si ffacd maas-tyr-batwr . . .
What's the world coming to?
