    Welsh signwriter's rude pop at English

    Jul 1 2007 by Matt Withers, Wales On Sunday
    A CHEEKY Welshman thought he’d had the last laugh when he painted a London pub sign with the words: “All English are a**eholes!”
    And for a while, it looked like he’d got away with penning ‘Twll din pob sais’ on the front of The Feathers in Westminster.
    But he was finally rumbled during a visit by a Welsh-speaking member of the historic pub’s management team, who broke it to the landlord that an insult to his English customers stood in place of the traditional Prince of Wales motto ‘Ich dien’ or ‘I serve’.
    So last week, the joke was well and truly over when red-faced bosses ordered a rapid repainting of the royal emblem – and apologised for the embarrassing prank.
