Dizzy Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Any suggestions for a title for this topic based on the news story below ? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/wales/8808606/Storm-over-English-term-WC-on-roadsigns-in-Wales.html ...ps not what the main report is about but there is a mention, so why do bats need bridges to cross new roads, do they walk everywhere these days ? I suspect there will only be a teeny weeny number of replies to this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Mac Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hey Dizzy, maybe it wa a typo' and the report should have been about boats. I reckon they might have a greater need for bridges and aquaducts than bats. However, going back to bats, has anyone else noticed a reduction in bat numbers this past Summer? My garden is usually alive with bats during the Summer evenings but the most I have seen on any evening this Summer has been 4 or 5. Are the numbers dwindling or maybe they have just found a better playground to hunt in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Mac Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Ooops, I nearly forgot to suggest a title. Based on the link from Fugtifino how about something along the lines of "Hedging your bats." (I'll go now before anyone notices.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 ...has anyone else noticed a reduction in bat numbers this past Summer? Not noticed any reduction in numbers, Rex, but appearances have been less frequent, probably due to the poor weather over the summer.

Evil Sid Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 If it just the letters they object too they could always put a picture of lavatory on the signs. As for bat bridges why not they have hedgehog underpasses. But if they do insist off their signs should we not insist that any road signs that a welsh contractor uses not have any welsh words on it. seen a few at various roadworks around the area. Title WC signs panned by welsh speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 So now we have the answer to the bridge. In future will all bridges have to be bat/man friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
