Was Cariad Lloyd sacked from a call centre? - Would I Lie To You: Series 11 BBC One 

cariad, calon (heart) and cwtch (cuddle) are among my favourites, and popty ping (microwave), oh and of course Cymru (Wales)

​@@mizofan I've always enjoyed pili-pala (butterfly)

the direct translation would just be love:)

+Hypercube I'm guessing, if she sounds Welsh and the person on the phone calls back and says; 'The lady on the phone with the Welsh accent gave me the wrong numbers' it'd be difficult to track her down (assuming there were many people on the phone.) And it might make it more difficult to people to hear her...or...they wanted her to use 'proper' english, so it'd sound classier. I don't know. But I would do the exact same if I was her.

+Hypercube1729 Technically, it shouldn't be a problem and no one would be hurt as long as you did the job properly. But then you have to remember that this was the Royal Mail and (like any big company) they don't believe in fun, especially not in the work place. They are full of stupid rules and regulations. It's the same as those call centres that insist on people wearing suits, or the female equivalent, to work. Who exactly is going to see you outside of your work colleagues? How is wearing (or not wearing) a suit going to affect you doing your job? Answer: It doesn't.

lwaves in fact, not being allowed to wear your normal clothes might hinder you from doing a good job as you don't feel as comfortable and relaxed, and are a bit uptight. I was so confused when I heard there were some call centres who actually enforced that rule

+Triangle Passing Movement I've never worked in a call centre (never will) but that would be me. I don't feel comfortable wearing a tie and jacket in any way. I find them both restrictive and uncomfortable, especially the tie. I didn't even wear one for the funerals I've been too. Yeah, a mate worked for one for a short time and they did it. There was also a call centre on some reality show who did something similar in the clips I saw. It's an old, leftover tradition from times past when wearing that type of clothing was a regular thing because it's all people had (essentially). The better the suit the better off in society you were and potentially the better educated you were. Complete bollocks of course but that's how they saw it back then. Obviously I get looking presentable but you can do that perfectly easily with casual clothes these days.

lwaves I have worked in a call centre. Fortunately, there was no defined dress code (a guy actually came in wearing an (empty) gun gollister once 😂). I later worked in court where it was mandatory to wear a suit or something similar if you were going to potentially speak in court on behalf of the CPS, probation or the representing solicitors. Ironically, as I was leaving the call centre, there were discussions about how a formal dress code needs to be brought back in, and as I was leaving the job at court, there were discussions of how it shouldn't be necessary to wear a suit (especially in the summer). Just a hypothesis, but I think the idea behind having a defined dress code like wearing a suit etc, especially at a call centre, is primarily to give the employees a sense that the job matters and so they have to perform well. I find it difficult to believe the people who are in charge of such decisions are so out of touch that they actually think it's so necessary to present yourself well (even when you aren't in a customer facing role) to the extent that it means you need to wear a suit. Especially in this age of "smart-casual" wear.

Ok explain?

@@torilazzalini-machecler5268 it's a joke from the film super troopers

Yep, she's absolutely adorable.

Yes!! More Cariad Lloyd appreciation! ☺

Probably because...it wasn't a joke.

Matthew Perry is american Lee Mack

@@baseddugalle1838 yes. This.

But Lee Mack is quick witted and genuinely funny.

😂😂

they weren’t actually speaking welsh lol

They weren't speaking Welsh, or any language. It's gobbledegook that sounds welsh

@@CadiasFinest Ahh that makes more sense, I had suddenly doubted all my Welsh skills when I heard them say that

@@niabaugh9603 it's a running joke, Rob Brydon and other Welsh guest have. Speak faux Welsh to annoy Lee

@The Dead Immortal Oh dear, please tell me you're joking.

Rob is that you?

Down horrendously bad

xinxian kongqi They didn't say anything. It was just gobbledygook that sounds like Welsh.

@@BuffOrpington7 I speak gobble dgook but i couldn't understand them.

Come on. Rob is born and raised Welsh. It is more than that.

Moron is all I heard 😂

@@naturesmusic1171 Lol and guess what Moron is carrot in Welsh

Does

She's my gf

Gelfling66 I don’t think he misunderstood “sweating like a pig” . He just heard “it’s so hot in here” and used that as his joke.

Duh.

Okay thanks for this useful piece of information that will definitely help me later in life

And an American southerner would never find it hot in London. Your 25° "heatwave" is a cool fall day here.

i had suspected as much

@DaBabySmokesWeedAndJimmySavilleSmokesBudWithMyNan 30 is warm

@@joelluber 25 in London can be a lot hotter than 25 elsewhere.

If her parents are Welsh and have Welsh accents she might be able to go back and forth between accents?

Cariad is welsh for love, and Lloyd is a popular surname in Wales. I'd wager she has at least one welsh parent.

her dad was welsh i think

@@pineapples4dayz812 popular surname? Or did you mean its a common surname?

It was hilarious
