That's nothing. The other day I saw this sign:
The sign writer should be immediately sacked. He's blatently written most of it in Klingon. It's dumbing down I tell you, this country is going to the dogs!!!!!!!11111111111111
Hell's bells! How the The sign writer should be immediately sacked. He's blatently written most of it in Klingon. It's dumbing down I tell you, this country is going to the dogs!!!!!!!11111111111111
do they speak that language without choking to death on their own phlegm?

James, James, James, I love you (in a strictly manly way, of course) for this thread. When I was young and green and from a very correct background, I went into my first job as naive as a Polynesian girl painted by Paul Gauguin. On one of my forays into the staff restaurant, or Cafe, as it was known by my new colleagues, I espied an item on the menu that seemed marvellously French and tasty sounding. I approached the serving wench and asked for the Gigot chops, but I pronounced it Jeego, with a silent T, and a very soft J, more like a french 'je' with a an extra eee, "jeeego". Much mirth ensued. How was I to know it was a cut I'd never heard of?, and a very cheap one at that?
Anyway, we all do something silly at least once in our lives, that is worth a good laugh.
On the plus side, I've never asked for "A bottle of Carafe please" Anyway, we all do something silly at least once in our lives, that is worth a good laugh.

I'm beyond trying to justify (as I will (and have) put my hand up to stupidity and also of not using google to check first) and I agree with root_666 - I will question, however, how a minibus with the words Ambulance down the side is actually an classed as an ambulance? Surely it should be classed as a patient transport vehicle and therefore should be labelled up as such - or just left blank? Is there any criteria that has to be met for it to be classed as an ambulance?
NB - I wonder if there will be further regionalisation of emergence vehicles - "Rozzers" anywhere anyone?

Most patient transport is called an ambulance. Locally we have a volunteer scheme where people drive OAP's to hospital/doctors appointments, these are called ambulance cars, but are unmarked apart from a sign they put up in the windscreen.
