Welsh residents of the Isle of Wight were met with a happy surprise when they headed to their local Aldi to find that, bafflingly, it had included signs in their own language.

The incident came after an Aldi store in Cowes, near Newport on the English Channel island was refurbished, complete with new self-checkout machines.

This included adding several signs to indicate to shoppers the alternative checkout method.

The incorrect signage reads “Hunan Checkouts Arian parod a cherdyn”, which in English translates as “self-checkouts, cash and card”.
