A rose by any other name

We're in Wales again today. This time we're in the vicinity of Camrose, a village in southern Pembrokeshire, situated below the Landsker Line.

So we're in England then. Or, at least, Little England Beyond Wales as it's been known for 400 years or so. Unless you're a Welsh speaker, of course, in which case you might call it English Pembrokeshire. Although you'd say it in Welsh.

Confused? You will be.

Just like the walkers who've encountered this signpost recently. Instead of pointing them in the direction of Camrose, it suggests they might like to visit Cumrose instead.

You remember the old adage?

Date or weight?

Back after a short break. Thanks for waiting.

Luckily, you've not stopped sending in your typos so thank you very much for that. As a result, there's a bit of catching up to do.

For instance, in October, Cardiff University's recruitment system was due for upgrading.

Trouble is, I can't tell exactly which day in October. And, if it is on one particular day, how can the work last from 8pm until 4am? Sounds more like a reverse backup than an upgrade.

I wonder if Proofreaders are included in the revised list of vacancies?

Achy Breaky Heart for Billy Ray

Well, here's an interesting result uncovered by Tom L.

Looks like Wales won by a country Miley.

When David met Dafydd

Sent in by Greg L whose friend captured this scene in Cardiff after the Wales v Israel international football match a couple of weeks ago.

'Remember, Bubala, what happens in Cardiff, stays in Cardiff.'

That's no lady

Organisers of the Noah's Ark appeal of Wales were left red-faced after the unveiling of a sign for a street in Cardiff named after the appeal's patron, Shirley Bassey.

It carried a misspelling of the Welsh word for Dame.

Apparently, instead of Y Fonsig, it should have read Y Fonesig.

Knowing Welsh as well as I do (ahem), the incorrect spelling probably translates to something like 'that old Tiger Bay bird'.

Class act

It wasn't until around half of the 600 graduation medals had been presented to students of Fremont High School in Ogden, Utah, that someone noticed something was wrong.

Somewhere in Ogden there's a red-faced ex-pat Welsh engraver keeping a low profile.

President of Wales

Does the jobswales.co.uk site know something that the rest of us don't?

Tom L wouldn't say no to either of these two jobs which are being advertised right now.
