Beth i'w weld neu wneud ger Castell-Nedd? Mae 'Y Lolfa' wedi newydd cyhoeddi llyfr ardderchog - yn Saesneg. 'The Unofficial Guide to Wales' - mae'n 'triffig! Dyma blas arno: [Y Lolfa have just published an English-language guide to Wales] "Neath: A small West Wales town,proud of its nearly invincible rugby team. This small town has Roman and mediaeval remains and, on the rugby field, somewhat Neanderthal connections. Nearby is the impressive Pensgynor Wildlife Park with its great variety of birds, seals and other animals. The children who used to enjoy a romp with the Park's chimpanzees must now remain safely segregated since the baby chimps have been known to catch nasty diseases from their human playmates. Port Talbot: A beautiful seaside resort on the South Wales coast. Beautiful compared to Widness that is. Swansea: Its association with the world renowned poet Dylan Thomas - he drank there, as well as there and everywhere - has attracted many tourists. Scholars have suggested that the setting for 'Under Milk Wood', Llareggub (Buggerall backwards, if you'll excuse the expression) is a fairly accurate description of Swansea's list of attractions." Mae'n siarad am yr Eisteddfod hefyd: "Perhaps the most emotional part of the whole festival is the day when visitors from overseas are given a tumultuous croeso. This moment belongs to all those Welsh exiles who decided long ago to settle and make a few relatively tax-free dollars. In one mass migration they return in August to wherever the Eisteddfod is being held. There is a special tent set aside for them staffed by medical personnel. So, if you should notice a long line of senior citizens, some of them in funny hats and most of them sporting cameras, you will probably be witnessing the Inoculation Ceremony. In a secret location in the North a pure welsh culture has been preserved by members of the Gorsedd. A minute quantity of this culture is injected into the visitors from other lands in order to top up their Welshness for another 12 months. A precise dose of the culture must be administered - too little and they may never return; too much and they may be tempted to sell up and buy Anglesey." Mae'n rhoi tipyn o gymorth gyda'r Gymraeg: "A oes heddwch - Can you keep the noise down please?" "Ble mae'r gwaith carthffosiaeth? - where's the beach" "Dim Ysmygu - Keep off the grass" "Rwyf eisiau llyfu pen-o+l y frenhines - I would like a first-class stamp" Llyfr ardderchog, doniol iawn (yn arbennig i'r rhai sy'n nabod y llefydd!)
