And Finally...Welsh signs gobbledegook
A COUNCIL was criticised for not correcting mistakes in Welsh signs spotted by a Welsh Daily Post reader a year ago.
Twelve months ago, Scott Felton, from Colwyn Bay visited Wrexham bus station and saw a sign on the door of the information office which read 'Amser Agorau' which is Opens Time.
The plural ending "au" was on the wrong word and should read Amserau Agor.
There was also "Ymhoilida" instead of Ymholiadau (Enquiries).
Another reader, David James Jones, 56, from Corwen, Denbighshire, forwarded to the Welsh Daily Post a gobbledegook bill sent to his father-in-law by Denbighshire council.
It says "Interest will be charged on late payments". Instead of "Codir llôg ar daliadau hwyr" it has: "Ddiddora chyhuddir acha'n ddiweddar daledigaethu" - which is complete gobbledegook!
He said: "I couldn't believe my eyes."
The council last night apologised
