in Welsh this translation reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated”

2 sentences, similar length, No ≈ Nid

Can a cigarette even light diesel? Doesn't it have a quite high flaming point?

If you saw someone smoking next to a diesel tanker, would you go hang out with them?
