Bad Wenglish

Yes, cyclists must dismount, but, if you were reading the Welsh, you wouldn’t necessarily know that, in fact, you might be quite alarmed at what that little yellow sign was telling you.
This sign can be found at the roadworks between Cardiff Bay & Penarth.

The top, is obviously English, and, as usual for Wales, it’s Welsh translation is below, or..it should be.
In this case, it’s totally irrelevant, but admittedly quite funny, drivel.

DISMOUNT

Oh joy - that is beautiful :)

You could quite easily get away with writing utter shit in Welsh for years with no one being any the wiser in this county..

I love this - if only on the basis it shows how meaningless the Welsh language is to the majority of the populace. If the public sector isn’t getting it right, then no-one is!

I think you should update the ‘about me’ section.

Apparently it actually translates as “BLADDER DISEASE HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN”
