Still Waters Posted August 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Some visitors to a seaside town were left frustrated when a pay and display parking machine gave instructions only in Welsh. Queues developed as non-Welsh speakers struggled to work out how to use the ticket machine at the underground car park in Rhyl, Denbighshire. The council is looking into it, but said drivers had other payment options. It also said the machines default to Welsh, but users can change that by pressing a "language button". Queues were made worse when the machine failed to recognise debit cards. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62534280 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the "language button" changes it to Cornish? (Nobody speaks Cornish anymore, including people in Cornwall. ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
