| ![]() There is no two ways about it (pun unintended). Translation seems to be an Achilles Heel for our authorities. Kannada daily Vijaya Karnataka found this displayed on the Cunningham Road in Bengaluru. Keeping linguistic matters aside, one wonders as to when did the Bengaluru Traffic Police change the meaning of free left turn signage to One Way. Last edited by moralfibre : 29th June 2018 at 09:12.

| ![]() Of the umpteen forwards one receives on WhatsApp day in and day out, very few manage to make an impression. The following is one such. (Please ignore the misplaced apostrophe and look at the message alone.) |

| ![]() Not sure about your designs, Mr. Sam, but your spellings certainly have a 'sigh' in them! ![]() ![]() |

I am aware of surnames such as "Darukhanawala", "Screwala" etc. They also say that proper nouns may be spelt in any manner. ![]() | |

| ![]() This came as a WhatsApp forward from a learned friend. Not sure of the location nor can I vouch for its authenticity. But if true, teenaged Bhpians should perhaps have a look at this offer before proceeding with their college admissions! (The bike offered being a CT 100 and the fact that most of our young turks on the forum are car aficionados and not bikers makes the offer less alluring though ![]() |

| ![]() What were they drinking when they printed this label? Certainly not a coke, I presume! Would be beholden to anyone who can help me decipher the message. |
