No Passing on Winding Days


Who does these translations? :) This sign on the road between Buenavista del Norte and Punta Teno, says, boldly: "Road Closed HIGH DANGER OF EARTH FALLING DURING WINDING OR RAINING DAYS"

The road certainly isn't straight on any days, so is that days when you are wound up (as in stressed) or, do they think they mean, no passing on days when you've eaten too many beans? :) The Union Jack is a nice touch tho', just in case you have no flippin idea what they are on about in what language! 

Earth falling? They mean bloody great rocks! Great big corporation sign in bright yellow - you would imagine, wouldn't you, that someone would think to have it properly checked - by someone who actually speaks English - before it is put up there at the side of the road, all big and bold, for our pure entertainment.
