Sure, although my wife did get annoyed when she saw a sign in a NatWest bank in Huddersfield which was in urdu, punjabi, something like arabic, and finally English at the bottom.
I could see her point really.
I cannot understand why I got a thumbs down for this, would you be happy if your own language was the very last on a sign? I have no objections to other languages on there, but if you read at a glance, surely the first wording should be in the countries native language.

It doesnt bother me! English isnt the only language in this country.
A lot of the signs are in Welsh too which I think is great. Welsh is a British Language after all!

Does not bother me in the slightest. When you travel to a country abroad which speaks a language other than my own i find it very helpful when they put signs that show what its saying in other languages including mine. I like living in a multicultural society and would not have it any other way. The BNP don't rule here thank God......And the day they do I'm off. I'm white British born and breed and I'm secure enough in myself not to feel threatened by people and cultures that are different. LONG LIVE DIVERSITY!

No I don't like it. English is the language of this country and should be respected. Neither do I like it when I go to Spanish tourist resorts and all the signs are in English, not Spanish.

are there any? In scotland we have a few gaelic ones the further north you go and i know they have them in welsh but I didnt realise they had them in england.
Dont see the problem with them, if you go to spain or anywhere, they have signs in english so whats the difference?

I personally don't have a problem with it. However, as most of the populus is English and read English, how will the shop advrtise what its selling if people can't read it?

I dont think the public are comfortable with signs in foreign languages.

no (where are these stop signs )
i am not against immigrants entering the country but they should learn our language if they do so.
