say WHAT?!

February 26, 2010

A sign posted recently on the French rail network is causing controversy, and one can easily see why. I never saw the original French sign, just this purported English translation:

“Over the past few weeks there have been worries with Romanians. Indeed, a number of bag thefts have been noted. We ask you to redouble your vigilance. Besides, all sightings of Romanians must be reported.”

All sightings of Romanians must be reported? Excuse me?

The last I heard, SNCF claims it was the unauthorized work of one employee. (Well I should hope so.)
