Never ask a British Squaddie to translate

POSITIVELY PRICELESS!!

Read the following explanation before looking at the picture! 


 Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about English.

 So, how do a group of Syrian protesters create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To The British"(etc) slogans printed in English?

Answer: They hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English. 

Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was an ex-2nd  Para sergeant! Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way to Arab TV networks, but the results were PRICELESS! 



                        

Bus Fare to anti British protest Rally: 7.55
 

Paint and Canvas for protest signs: 38.75 

Asking an ex-Falklands  veteran of 2nd  Para  to translate your anti-British signs from Arabic:-
PRICELESS
