Complicated mixture of places in two languages. Seriously I'm all in favour of the Welsh language maintaining its presence but just how many drivers are there in Wales who don't speak English?
    I don't think the bilingual signs in Wales cause any accidents in say, Bromsgrove RM

      why not simply get rid of all languages in the world except English (maybe with Spanish and Chinese for the awkward folk !)
      would make things much simpler !

      Surely if your brain can't cope with reading signs and working out what they mean you really should be on the bus and NOT driving a car

      are you absolutely sure you don't write the Viz "Top Tips" RM ?

        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              What about these poor Welsh speakers, who need their road signs translating, who then cross the border into England? Perhaps all English road signs should have a Welsh translation as well? Or do they miraculously understand English again once they come back to civilisation?
