Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	THis made me laugh: Quote: When officials asked for the Welsh translation of a road sign, they thought the reply was what they needed. Unfortunately, the e-mail response to Swansea council said in Welsh: "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated". BBC story here. And while we're at it - here's a link to Engrishfunny - I love the drink can ones.

But it sure can create problems in others. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

I got a good laugh out of: Cyclists between Cardiff and Penarth in 2006 were left confused by a bilingual road sign telling them they had problems with an "inflamed bladder". Inflamed bladders can be a huge problem when you're cycling! _________________________ The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
