Scrump, I do believe that any suggestion of offensive given was related to using the word 'welsh' as a verb for bad debt, not as a reference to the Nation or nationality. I'm with Splotty on that one.

Having said that, I do occasionally see "Cymru" or "Cymry" being used internationally by other nations to refer to the Welsh or Wales in documentation or discussions. Not often, admittedly.
