Road sign leaves Welsh-speakers bewildered

 

The article has a picture of the sign. Apparently, the Welsh version of the message says something like "bladder disease has returned".

That's funny. Now there's a use for that word "Rollerbladders" that pops up every once in a while on a forum somewhere.

I was reading about this year's Edinburgh (Fringe) Festival, with its various interpretations of Shakespeare, in an article called "Edinburgh Fringe: 101 Ways to Massacre Shakespeare", by Paul Majendie. The director, Paul Gudgin, narrowed down his all-time favorite to "A Midsummer Night's Disco -- Shakespeare on roller skates" (although I liked the sound of Hamlet in a bouncy castle the best).
