    Good ones. :D:D

    I have a few as well, found on our recent Cyprus holiday. We had a thread for signs here last year (or the year before?), I was going to look for it and tag mine on. Can't remember where it was though.

    The English is clear enough to lorry drivers - but the Welsh reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."

    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. Please send any work to be translated".

    And

    The "cyclists dismount" sign between Penarth and Cardiff became "llid y bledren dymchwelyd" in Welsh - literally "bladder inflammation upset."
