'henddraig's S4C Petition Update!

@Deborah-SSi, I suspect I know the Forum names of the most recent signatories!
1326 - 1328
Kreuzau, Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany
Studley, Warwickshire
Kidlington, Oxfordshire
Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi!

@Deborah-SSi I was wrong, Michael is number 1330! Nice number - diolch @Eigentime, so a rush -
1329-1338
Columbia, S.Georgia, USA - Access to S4C is crucial to the intellectual life and the cohesion of the Welsh speaking diaspora and Welsh speakers of Welsh ancestry.
Graz, Austria (lovely place!)
Look, look, one of the diaspora? - Esquel, Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina
Dublin, Ireland - wanting to enjoy learning, I think! says The wonderful Welsh language must be supported
Rochdale, Lancs
Sherwood, Oregon, USA
London, England
Cheltenham, Glos - The Welsh diaspora greatly value their music, poetry and literature. With completely porous borders it is obvious that many Welsh speakers live outside Wales, but want to keep in touch with the culture through S4C . If Sky and internet users are not counted a falsely low picture is given of the demand for S4C, Also, our living language is part of the rich mixed heritage of Great Britain which is a help to tourism and should be cherished.
UK - place unsecified
Gladsville, NSW, Australia
EDIT - That last one is actually Gladwsville, but when I noticed and Googled, it says ā€œGladesvilleā€. so Gladesville it must be!

Shmae @Deborah-SSi, Gladwsville is indeed Gladesville! I checked with the chap and have now corrected it!

a lady from Germany.

1343, @Deborah-SSi,
from Wymeswold, Leicestershire, England, says - Welsh is the true heritage of every Briton, and S4C is a vital, living part of that. It has an international reach, both for fans of Welsh and the general public - just witness the phenomenal success of Y Gwyll (Hinterland),

@Deborah-SSi 1344, from Swindon, commented :- This language should be keep alive. Itā€™s apart of our British heritage. More funding should be given to help learners of this language and keep the channel full of different contents.

Miss anon from Manchester sent ;- As a 17 year old in Preston, I would have had no opportunity to learn Welsh (even by paying) if it wasnā€™t for S4C. There is plenty of TV that I never watch but watching TV is an amazing way to develop your pronunciation and listening skills without much difficulty.

Today, 1355, Nottingham, England

Red Letter Day for me @Deborah-SSi! The first two are much appreciated -
1356 & 1357 from Coventry and Middlesbrough, England
but number 1358 set my heart racing. I was taken to a land which truly values its past, its traditions, its literature, because the whole world does too! I think the first signature on the petition from Greece, and specifically Thessaloniki!
