Ok I'm having a moan here. 2 points I'd like to make

1) Why is it so many people have trouble operating the car park machines in places like Mumbles, Langland and Caswell? So often I find myself.standing behind several people scratching their heads trying to work out what to do. I can't believe all of them are thick so it must be due to the instructions on the front.

2) In Langland and Caswell, there's no frickin mobile internet signal so it's often difficult to pay using the app.

Council, sort it out!
 
I haven't been to any of those car parks in a while, but are they the type that are in Welsh as standard and you have to press the button to change to English?

I know there's a few of those around and the change language button is not always obvious.

Exactly the council should move Langland and Caswell to a new location where there is better mobile signal
 
My mate is bilingual yet he was ranting about the one that was the old bus turning place in Mumbles. It was peeing down with rain and the machine kept cancelling the transaction before he could pay. Reckoned he was soaked to the skin by the time he got a ticket.
 
I used the one in Heath Park a few weeks ago. It could not have been a poorer set up if someone had tried; the instructions board was approx five foot by 2 foot and jumbled with English and Welsh content, the LCD display was face on to the sun so it was impossible to see the screen, and the button labels had faded. A dogs dinner of a pay and display.

Yes they are. Why they have a blue and yellow flag to signify the language change beats me
