Bilingual Signs on the Border

17/03/2008

Welcome to Cornwall / Kernow A'gas Dynergh

New bilingual 'Welcome to Cornwall' signs have been put up on the Tamar Bridge, A30 and other crossings. It is after many years of either having basic 'Kernow' signs, or in the case of the A38, none at all.

The Cornish text says: "Kernow a'gas dynergh"

The Loving Cup in Truro

16/03/2007

The Loving Cup came to Cornwall today after a big campaign against it. Truro City Council had voted in favour of welcoming the English cup, even though there was a big complaint against it from many people. There was a big group of Cornish supporters dressed in their national coloursoutside the town hall when the organiser, Bruno Peek, arrived. The protest was quiet and went without any trouble. The cup was received by the city mayor and an ambassador from the Cornish group spoke to Bruno Peek so that he may understand the reason for the disquiet.

Kerrier answer critics of road signs policy

There have been complaints to Kerrier District Council about the new bilingual roadsigns being set up across the district. Three hundred are currently in place. It was claimed that it was costing the tax payers extra money. Kerrier has assured them they are only signs that were going to be replaced anyway, and all the translations have been done for free.

Protests over St Georges Cup coming to Truro

Cornish patriots have called on the mayor of Truro to pull out of a celebration of the patron saint of England, St George.

The Celtic League says the event on 12 March is insensitive to Cornish people who will be celebrating St Piran's Day.

A week of St Piran's events clashes with the "Loving Cup" celebration.

Loving Cup organisers Celebrate St George's Day said the aim was to bring people from communities together.

Welsh roadsign in England

A sign in Cambridge confuses drivers

Motorists in a village in the middle of England were a bit confused today when they came across a road sign written in Welsh.

Luckily it also had an English translation.

Workers from Cardiff were installing a sewer near the rail station in Shelford in Cambridge, and had brought dual language signs with them.
