Translated signs

[Emmeedask]

Does anyone who watches the Graham Norton programme remember one where he went on the internet and found a site that translated signs. I think from Japanese into English and they were really funny.
Well I thought they were funny.

Thanks

I know the ones you mean. It was things like:

Seen at a Japanese tailors - "Ladies can get felt here".

Sorry I don't know the link.

One of the guest celebs was Joan Rivers cant remember the other one she was an actress in twenties I think.

The signs were of restaurants and road signs that when translated didn't reflect there original meaning, if you know what I mean.

Thats it squarebear! I havn't laughed so much in ages when I watched that.

Could do with a good laugh now.

One hotel sign I remember '' If you need your trousers pressed take advantage of our housemaid''
