BBC to Cymrophones outside the UK: Cer i Jawl!

I was browsing BBC Cymru this evening when a pop-up appeared asking if I had five minutes for a quick survey. Five minutes for a Welsh-speaker computes to at least fifteen for me, I thought, but clicked anyway. I got asked a total of three questions: age, sex, and place of residence. There was an individual option for every conceivable constituent of the United Kingdom and then some (How many Welshmen could there possibly be on Man?) plus a pull-down menu for "locations outside the UK"...which was entirely in English. As soon as I'd chosen "United States", I was politely thanked for my participation. Somehow I get the feeling that even the slowest Welshman wouldn't need five minutes to complete all that.
