I saw this yesterday near Scun.thorpe (for the swear filter) - has dumbing down gone too far?   Or have I missed something?

In Scun-thorpe - on the M180? On dealer plates.
And I apologise that my linguistic skills don't extend to Welsh.

Yes in scunthorpe, there's a good chance it was built there.
As for welsh, that's not hard, google is there to hold your hand.

Ambulances adorned with this logo are fairly common. It is not really "Welsh" but a hybridised "Welshisation" of the original English word - obviously they didn't have ambulances in Wales hundreds of years ago. Of course, the word Ambulance stems from the Latin "Ambulo" meaning "To Walk".

technically Preston plates on it (FR). And it's a minibus - not a traditional ambulance. Probably used for ferrying old folks etc. and probably has wheelchair ramp.
Do you not think the Welsh may sell off their vehicles when they reach a certain age and have them delivered to an auction site.
I have to say, your title is absolutely spot on. Gonzo....

What's that supposed to mean? Wikipedia said: Araf is the Muslim sheol or borderland between heaven and hell for those who are, from incapacity, neither morally bad nor morally good.
Araf is also a partition. Between hell and paradise there is a high wall, an a'raf. On this partition stand men who have escaped from hell but who are not (yet) permitted to enter paradise. They yearn to enter paradise, but their sins and virtues are evenly balanced. Um, ok. Wikipedia said: It is also Welsh for ‘slow’, as in ‘slow down’ Nope, I still don't get it - you'll have to enlighten me

If you are ever unfortunate enough to venture into Wales, don't panic if the car behind is making a lot of noise, flashing his lights, waving at you and has "Heddlu" in big stickers on the bonnet......it's just the council "HeadLice" inspection team in a bit of a hurry!
Just ignore them or ideally drive as fast as you can to make way for them!
