    :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: I pass that sign twice a day at least. It is not far from my workshop.
    I do all the signage for the Council car parks and they let me do the translations as they always take 6 months to get the translations done. My contact is a fluent welsh speaker, it is his first language and even he struggles occasionally to translate the odd sentence. He even once passed a sign I made for the council that they had provided the wording for and muttered under his breath how wrong the wording was. But I must admit that blunder in the paper today was a beauty! 😀
