Now try the Welsh name for it: Swydd Gaerwrangon.

Witness reports, for example.

I suppose no one’s thought of “abracatabra” yet?

Man in the last panel: “what were you talking about again?”

One thing I can tell you with confidence about the Netherlands is that people there almost invariably overestimate their proficiency in English, so adverts and public announcements and the like in English often have embarrassing mistakes, so I’d put money down that they’re not going to hire a native speaker or perhaps even a chartered translator to check the translations.

Haha.

You should clarify that you have to use a particular kind of bleach heavily diluted, and that it’s only common practice in the Americas.

It’s not that bad unless you get a shitload on there. It’s not even as bad as cutting your finger with a knife, I’d say.

Not sure how to feel about jokes where they ask why it’s so rather than just saying it’s so.
