I thought I would share this with you as I pissed my self laughing when I was given this piece of work to do.

To give you a bit of background as to why I'm doing this, my company is about to combine 3 offices (2 in Cardiff and 1 in Bristol) into 1 huge office in Newport. Our Public Relations Officer decided that it would be nice to give everyone an alarm clock/pencil holder when they arive in the new office. The problem is that instructions have been translated from Chines to english by someone who doesn't speak any english. So I've been given the task of translating the engrish back into english.

This is what I've got to work with. This first page isn't too bad.

I once had a torch with instructions.... It said 'light on' next to an arrow on the picture of the switch, then 'dark on' with a arrow pointing the other way. Anyone remeber Zero wing? ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
