Lost in translation - this is the actual sign


('course unless you speak Welsh yourself it doesn't mean much! :) ) It actually says 'There is no one in the office at the moment. Please send any material for translation."

Thanks for posting the picture of the sign. Did you take it yourself?

Hi Anna

No - the photo was actually on the BBC site. This story seems to hve spread like wildfire. There's another one about a bilingual sign in Scotland - unfortunately it was a bit confusing since it was in English - and Welsh! Britain may be 'the United Kingdom' but we still have language problems! :)
