I know that public services in general have become illiterater and illiterater.

This is bloody poor:

"Transport bosses were today left red-faced after the name of a major station was mis-spelled on several prominent signs.

The embarrassing blunder at Walthamstow Central saw the north-east London rail hub renamed "Waltamstow Central" as part of renovation work undertaken to mark the London Overground's takeover of a main line route through the station."

Yours in a frightful rush,

Up until maybe the 80s it was called Woltam Staah. I believe these days its
now know as Al Waltamta Alhuhar Akbah.

Pretty much. Go down Walthamstow market and you'll barely hear English spoken
at all. I'm sure some people love it citing rainbow diversity blah effin
blah. Though you have to wonder why they don't just **** off and live abroad
in the culture of their choice if they despise their own native culture so much.

A quote I remember, can't attribute it: "one of the most insidious things about
multiculturalism is that the only culture you're allowed to criticise is your
own."

New road signs have been installed across Milton Keynes, and they are
full of embarrassing schoolboy errors, such as spelling mistakes and
missing information.
