	FGS - it was meant to be a fun thread - as a Welsh person I found it hilarious, but as usual, it's all about you you you

	I also read the OP yesterday and thought it very funny and very true in these parts, hubby is welsh and welsh speaking and has always lived in wales,and every time he sees a wrongly translated sign(of which there are many) he finds it very funny. welsh people do have a sense of humour sometimes. and talking of nationality hubby can trace his welsh familly back to 1890 and they are pure welsh,as for me g grandmother was scottish,paternal g grandparents were irish(from belfast) gg grandmother was portuguese (hope ive spelt that right) and the rest were from different parts of england and wales.so what does that make me? :-D :-D

	There was my thinking it meant no typing. Always thought that would be a bit strange at the side of the road.

	John, Errol put this thread up as a bit of fun and, I have to say, you've rather spoilt it with your unpleasantness. What a shame :-( Don't be so touchy ;-) :-D
