OK ...Who's in Charge of Maintaining This Sign!

Recommended Posts

Here in Wales all road signs are required to be in both english and welsh. Most councils have a department that deals with the translation and this can lead to some epic fails as in this case where the highways department e-mailed the english text of a sign and got a message back from an auto-responder because the translator was on holiday.

That - if true, and not photoshopped - is hilarious. :D

Of course such problems could be avoided if the Welsh would all just agree to speak a modern, living language. Like English. :P

Now that's what I call action! I think, next time I get out there, I'll see if I can take some pics of other stuff that needs doing and post them in a public forum. We'll have that place ship-shape in no time.

....just kidding. TK runs a (fairly) tight ship.
