The English is clear enough to lorry drivers - but the Welsh reads "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated."
So go on...how many times have you sent a e mail only to be replied by that awful 'out of office' standard message?How many times have you seen 'after a hard day at the office...' on TV during adverts and other news items?
Well...get real people! Some facts...
Most people don't work in an office.
Nobody has a hard day at the office!
They are the most boring places on earth, I worked in one for a year and it drove me mad, kept looking at the clock and was bored out of my skull!
There are people that work at the coal face (or in my case, chalk face) and people that sit on their arses in front of a computer.
I have spent all my life on my feet working hard either in a workshop or a classroom. Why does the media assume that everybody works in an office? Does it just sound good or do they really believe that most of Britain work in offices?
Try this...
After a hard day on the building site...
After a hard day working in a supermarket...
After a hard day working in a classroom...
After a hard day working on the bins...
Get real people!
