Would You Like To Be Able To read in 19 different Languages?

And it will only cost you a pound!

Yes I was amazed after making a purchase at one of our local pound shops, in the packaging was the attached piece of paper with a single message in nineteen different languages.

So now I can read that many languages without having to pay college fees.

Admittedly though the only phrase on the piece of paper was:-

PLEASE RETAIN FOR INFORMATION

That was all, not a hint as to what I was to retain for information, (unless it was that piece of paper), however now if ever I see that phrase on my Worldly travels I will recognise it instantly.

The symbols on the right are recycling information, maybe that's why they want you to keep it.

Yes, I noticed them, they could be referring to the piece of paper, after all it should be recyclable.

You are oh so knowledgeable, however you do take the 'anything goes' section far too seriously, it sort of kills any effort to bring a little bit of humour to the site.

Sorry Less, thought I was clearing up the mystery of what the paper was for, guess my funny bone`s not yet mended properly yet, there are signs of callus though so it`s looking good for a full recovery.

With a touch of international flavour,

I can sit there in confidence knowing that if a stranger sits down next to me and passes me a piece of paper with the words,

Lutfen Bilgilenin

Written on it, I can expect a conversation in broken English, (my English isn't as good as it aught to be), with a Turkish member of Greenpeace who wishes to tell me about the importance of recycling.

You you have brought back some treasured memories. Many years ago I gave a friend a hand to unpack and assemble several new mopeds. These arrived packed partially disassembled in boxes of three. When you opened each box you were greeted by a large notice in several languages, the english version of which said:-
Before attempting to start FILL OIL WITH ENGINE! Its perhaps worth noting before someone jumps to an obvious explanation these moped were of european but not British manufacture.
