"Translation by Google translate"

[cambrensis]

It's allegedly by Staff writer Andrew Higgins, an English enough name. Perhaps it should read 'Enery 'Iggins. Checking his other "work" it is all much of a muchness - a fictional character perhaps.

I did think of writing to the editor, then changed my mind and switched his text to capital letters. It then became totally comprehensible....after all, everybody understands English if it is shouted loudly enough.

...Or - you may prefer to read the correct report in the correct translation:

"Translation by Google translate"

I got that. Looking at the rest of the site it appears to be a place that harvests stories from other sites and runs them through a translator (with interesting results).

It looked an 'English' enough site, and I initially couldn't figure out why my brain kept stalling on reading it; I was worried I might be having a seizure.
