A prize to the first non-Arabic speaker who correctly deciphers this sign. This year, in Qatar, we've been entertained to a campaign of public health posters in black on yellow, all featuring a little outraged guy waving his arms in despair.

ReplyDeleteHi GG - Pretty accurate. The English language version read "Do not slaughter animals outside the slaughterhouse". But it still happens, in spite of the warnings.
