Ambulance... Ambiwlans - Has dumbing down gone too far?

[chrisga]

Saw this today, immediately thought you t’ard. Naturally had to drive round the block again to get a photo.

The dumbing down seems to be getting worse to be fair... ;-)

noun: ambiance
the character and atmosphere of a place.
"the relaxed ambience of the cocktail lounge is popular with guests"

Are you sure it was a vehicle for the conveyance of sick people? Or just some kind of joke?

It's hippy-speak for "This old ambulance has been converted into a campervan full of cushions, bongs and lava-lamps" (you 'tard)

Possibly. I imagine the Polite Notice is equally likely.

Despite reading this a few times and understanding what it says, it still makes my brain go funny!

What's a Plus Tard? The opposite of a Tard?

Isn't "Plus Tard" French for "late"? "Tard" suggests "tardiness", another word for it.

A plus tard means "see you later".

Which is kinda apt for this thread!

Just because it's got an H doesn't make it posh and I am not going to hospital in it. And it should be Hambions or Hambliance. Either way, I'm waiting for a proper Ambiwlans.

Love the Plus Tard reference there

Was just discussing something with an ex-paramedic friend of mine and this thread was mentioned (she's Welsh). Good to see it's still going

A long discussion, then

I’m just waiting for my transport home from physiotherapy. Look what’s parked outside…
