For those who may not know the derivation of Cariad. It's a Welsh term of endearment, embracing words such as darling, love, sweetheart. This is the first time I have come across it's use as a name. I like it.
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:)
she is cute
Can't believe "for training purposes" didn't get a laugh
Probably because...it wasn't a joke.
I love how she dose a country accent
Does

As someone who speaks Welsh, I have no clue what they were saying 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
3:16, there can be no doubt she’s telling the truth.
2:27 just for any British people in the comments, you would never say "y'all" to a single person. Y'all is for a small group of several people, in larger quantites the commonly used phrase is "All y'all"
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.
Why would it even be a problem to do different accents on the phone? Who is it hurting? As long as you properly take care of the ringers enquiry what the hell does it matter which accent she uses?
+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.
Rob Bryson called lee Mack a “moron” … that’s welsh for carrot
She Cute AF
Yep, she's absolutely adorable.
Yes!! More Cariad Lloyd appreciation! ☺
"oh it is in Wales" LOLLLZZZ
When I worked in a call centre we'd all compete to see how many "meow"s we could fit into a conversation.
Ok explain?
@@TorilAzzalini-Machecler it's a joke from the film super troopers
I love Cariad! Her personality is so lovely. And she’s lovely to the eyes as well. 😊
My favourite Cariad clip! I just love her southern accent, IDK why... Did y´all want something?
Who is it actually hurting to talk with different accents? The person calling doesn’t know so why would that be hurting that person. But that’s beside the point. I thought she was telling the truth.
I have a massive crush on Cariad. She is so
why would you be fired if you changing voice but give correct information?
Her southern accent is really good! Funny girl.
A carrot to her left?
What's disrespectful about putting on different accents? As long as you're friendly and provide the information I don't see the problem.
I didn't expect to get turned on by that Southern American accent...
@The Dead Immortal
Oh dear, please tell me you're joking.
Rob is that you?
Down horrendously bad
What do she and Rob say in Welsh?
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 😂
@@UnthinkableFairytales Lol and guess what Moron is carrot in Welsh
1:39 Is it just me, or does she sound German here?
The Closed Captioning broke down when they switched to Welsh.
they weren’t actually speaking welsh lol
Cariad is gorgeous
It sounded very possible for the exact reason the young guy next to David mentioned.
0:49 Lee's reaction is a perfect example, amongst many others, of why he is British Matthew Perry.
Matthew Perry is american Lee Mack
@@baseddugalle1838 yes. This.
But Lee Mack is quick witted and genuinely funny.
Moron is carrot in Welsh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's adorable. She's perfect gf material
She's my gf
Cariad is so adorable.
I was expecting Lee to make a comment about how David's phone ring, sounds like it has a Pigeon caught in the handset and should ring a Vet instead of the Postal Service.
😂😂
Can someone please tell me what they're saying when they switched to the Welsh accent?
as someone who spent alot ov time in the south ov !MER!KA! her accent would not have convinced anyone in the Colonies.
was cute though
Rob's misunderstanding of the term "sweating like a pig" is hilarious as an American. That's definitely not a sexy line like he made it out to be haha.
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.
With the level or conviction she had, it had to be true.
OMG, currently this is my favourite video on the Internet!
Welsh sounds cool
Caruso means sweetheart in Welsh . Little fact there for everyone. I wrongly thought Carisa meant love. 🍄🍄🌕🌕🌕
I love this show, but showbizz people don't do anything interesting, I spent the night being hunted by a tiger, just a normal day, the next day would have been equally strange,
Megan
I think you will find that the literal translation of Cariad is........LUSH! (just saying) xxx
Just discovered she was born in Eng, grew up in Eng, educated in Eng, so what's all the Welsh thing?
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?
Hmmm...making fun of Americans with the southern accent rambling over talking, too chatty. I see.
It was hilarious
