Is there an image in your post that I'm not receiving, perhaps? Or am I just dense today?

Someone sent this photo to me earlier this week, and of course I sent it on to everyone. One of the best of many blunders with bilingual signage in Wales... though bladder one is also a good try.

The answer to my question, then, is: I'm dense today. I just didn't recognize it as a link, without any "http" or slashes or colons or dots.... In my defense, the other discussion board where I spend a lot of time uses colored text quite a bit, so red didn't immediately evoke a response in my clicking finger.
That being said, thanks again, and now I'll go take a look at Percy's pic!
