I though the language was English, Welsh, Celtic or in the Channel Islands French. If these peole cann ot understand English how the hell can they understand written instructions on the motorway. This is political coorectness gone mad, If people wish to permanently live and work her they had better learn the language. I for one get a little fed up with the "Me no spika da Inklish" brigade when I no damn well they would understand it if I insulted them even if I smiled as I did it. Again it is an example of Labour policies. They don't care who rules this Country just as long as they can draw their fat salaries expenses and pensions.

Most traffic signs are signals, lights and shapes so that even the illetrate can drive. I took my driving test in french, only to practise the language. Traffic signs wriiten in english indicate the way and names of places, which a good driver would not even need!

OUTRAGEOUS... They also take a interpreter on their practical test, often giving the learner extra information without the examiner knowing. I know this to be a FACT.
