Multilingual signs are standard around the world.
I don't get why other languages make some English feel so insecure. Is it because they are monolingual?
If there's room for multiple languages in a single head, then there's space in a large and confident country.

The other language is for people who also live here – shocking concept, I know
“Don’t like it? Leave” from someone furious about a sign…in England
Absolute snowflake behaviour
Pathetic, again

Read the room Rupert! You’re posting this sort of inane nonsense in a misguided attempt to relate to the WC. Do you think we’re all uneducated, ignorant, racist fucks? We’re more concerned about the landed gentry buying up our British farmland to avoid inheritance tax.
