This is a bit of a cheat really as these two I have previously blogged.
A few nights ago I was relating my favourite mis-translations and quoted the name of a sports footwear shop in Nimes which I had spotted some time ago.
It was called The Athlete’s Foot.
I did a little light googling last night and discovered it still exists here
My other full time favourite was in the church in Medina Sidonia in Andalusia where they had translated the caption under a picture of Santa Rita as, wait for it, Father Christmas Rita.
