Kennedy's Word: Blog
Adaptability is key
And the holiday word in West Wales was Arafwch. Nawr.
And the Word in Belgium was: chips, obviously. And mussels. Although that's technically two words.
And the Word in Birmingham was: décliner. A favourite of translators and interpreters.
And the word in Flanders was "genieter"
And the word in the Antwerp area was...generally a heavily accented one.
And the word in the West Midlands this winter was... snow.
