A sign of the times

The City Council made a hames of the Irish translation of ‘English Market’, with the assistance of ‘Google Translate’, and had to replace the ‘made-in-England’ signs.

They’ve gone one better, replacing the original English Market signs with PVC panels, displaying an ersatz design and removing the lovely, idiosyncratic expression, ‘food emporium’.

Over the ornate arches on the Grand Parade side are the same, rough-edged, ill-measured PVC panels that don’t even match the templates.
