A rib-tickling sequel to 2011’s humor bestseller. The alarming commandments, unwittingly hilarious advertisements and revolting menus – anyone for ‘Lavender Frog Porridge’? – produced by poor or mistranslated English are sources of both bafflement and guilty pleasure for modern globetrotters. This is a collection of the funniest and oddest of the thousands of unintentionally amusing signs spotted by the readers of the Daily Telegraph’s blog Sign Language, which draws more than 300,000 visitors every week.

Product Description:

In these days when everyone carries a camera with them on their phone, few opportunities are missed by eagle-eyed tourists to record humorously mangled translations, unwitting ironies and double entendres on public signs, menus, shop fronts and foreign grocery products. Among the gems in this collection are the impressive premises of Penang's 'Chiap Tatt Enterprise' and the luxury coach run by Barcelona's 'Chavi Tours'.
