[james_tigerwoods]

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.

Might be going to have some work done on a side ramp, or it's been sold.

As for google, remember, then you won't look like a 'tard

Have you never driven or even travelled to Wales?

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".

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!

Thanks - I'll bear that in mind. Will I need my passport by the way?

You won't need your passport, but it would be a good idea to ensure all your affairs are in order and your will is up to date, they're not as friendly to the English as you would hope, certainly not since they discovered that they taste like chicken!
