Welsh for drivers
Allie and I have spent many a Sunday afternoon driving around Wales, in search for some culture and heritage. Since the majority of the time all we really understood was "Araf" (slow) painted on the road every 500 metres, we have compiled a list of useful words that todays driver would encounter on his wild adventures driving around Wales.
I don't speak Welsh, and since some of the signs were read at a mind-boggling stupid speed, they may not be accurate. But - hey! All the useful pages have already been written.
