Sign Language

Ever heard the phrase, "lost in the translation". Well in this case it was literal.

From the BBC, Swansea Council ordered a translation of "“No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only.”" via email. Getting a reply, they cut and pasted the result and ordered a sign.

However, the reply was saying “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.”

I bet this will not be appearing on the workers resume as an achievement.
