On BBC Spotlight tonight - How stupid is this, ostensibly for 'saving money'

So folk get lost up there and next thing is the rescue services are called out......cost!

If Councils want to save money, the Cornish could drop their language names from road and street signs. After all, only 500 folk speak the language - and, officially, it sis die so no one really knows if the pronunciation is right. Now that is a waste.....

They probably haven't turned them round since the last W.W. to deter and confound the dreaded invading Hun :-)

Any one bumbling around the moors without comms,correct footwear, waterproof clothing, goody packs with liquid and orienteering aids without the ability to use them deserve to be charged the full cost of any rescue package.
Yes, I agree.

I watched the link and although the next time the signs are replaced the destinations won't be included, they intend to replace them (with destinations) at a later date.

Smacks of false economy to me as the wise local Gentleman said.
