If reading Welsh wasn't hard enough already

Post by Gob »

People in Pontypridd have been left bemused by a sign which was erected upside down.

Diversion signs have been placed around the town while £1m work begins on re-strengthening the 148-year-old Victoria Bridge.

But one sign which points to the town centre in one direction and other routes the opposite way has left people having to turn their heads to read it.

Rhondda Cynon Taf council blamed contractors for the error.

Likely took a few months before anyone noticed the mistake.

Spelling upside down, even in Welsh, is pretty easy to spot...

If they'd really wanted to see how long it would take for people to notice, they could have spelled it backwards:

"Pob cerbyd arell"

"Llera dybrec bop"

Looks like complete gibberish either way... 8-)

the real question is "Are the arrows pointing in the right direction?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Nonsense! It means "The only gay in the village" - that's why it's arse-end up
