Well I don't actually speak it, but I think it's a warning about a fog horn.

Of course if you can wait two months you can get a proper tranlation.

I figured that by the tags, I just wanted to know what the full text was. "When foghorn sounds, put your fingers in your ears."?

Why, are you learning Welsh?

Didn't see anything about fingers in ears mentioned.

Nope, but you'll be able to see some of my family at the wedding who do know Welsh.

Corporation of (Trinity?) Tower, London

Warning
Fog Horn
May possibly make a very loud noise in this area without warning.

Trinity Tower,
Tower Hill, London

Well, the illustration seems to hint at it.

Ah, I didn't know you had Welsh connections. :o)

That's obviously international sign language for "Warning, Loud Noise". It's an interesting one. :o)

Yes, my family is Welsh.

It's always the quiet ones...

That have "Warning, Loud Noise" written on them? ;o)

If you're referring to my Welsh heritage, it's the reason why my surname is spelt correctly, the English version of it is wrong. :o)

I'd say it should be trinity house not Trinty Tower.

This is becuase trinity house , is the organisation, which handles navigation to shipping (lighthouses and whatnot ) in the uk .

Ah, foghorn warnings. What they REALLY should say is: "Warning - do not jump out of yer skin and fall down the cliff when the foghorn goes off, though if it's foghorn weather then what the bloody hell are you doing at the top of a cliff in the fog anyway, you wazzock?"
