Welsh sign accidentally used at supermarket in England

A Welsh supermarket sign has humoured shoppers after it was put up accidentally at an English store. The sign was unusually installed last week at the Aldi in Cowes, near Newport on the Isle of Wight.

The sign saying "hunan checkouts" guides shoppers to newly-installed self checkouts at the branch, adding Welsh words for cash which is arian and card which is cherdyn.

Such was the confusion over the sign that pictures of it were shared with local newspaper the Island Echo and it’s proved a talking point on the island since. Some on the island off the south coast of England praised the chain for welcoming its Welsh-speaking customers, while others laughed at the “blunder".
