Chris Downer explains the origin of this road name:
"Ha-Ha refers to the sloping ditch with vertical brick wall running along the North side of the road...this ditch was used to keep animals grazing on Woolwich Common off the land in front of the Royal Artillary parade ground and headquarters"
More information about the origin and use of the term "Ha-Ha" can be found at Wikipedia: Ha-ha

Lost In Translation

Bi-lingual road sign (English & Welsh) junction of Clase Road and Pant-y-Blawd Road Swansea, South Wales, UK

* Photo © Copyright dullhunk and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence

In Wales, all the road signs are written in both Welsh and English.

The English speaking officials who organise road signs sent an email to Swansea Council asking for a Welsh translation of the words,"No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only". When they received a reply from the translator it was written in Welsh. Unable to understand what the email said, the English officials simply assumed that they'd got their translation and went ahead and the put the words written in Welsh onto their road sign...unfortunately, what the email had actually said (when translated into English) was:
"I am not in the office at the moment. Send me any work to be translated"!
