Cut the mean s***, guys. Kosovan refugees, been in Canberra for ages. A quick google brings up Gizele’s story.
A) There is no “mean s**t” posted here.
B) Instead of whining on here, why not offer to draw up a legible poster for them?
C) Can you ask them how much they want to clean my window carpets?

I hope they benefit from the publicity their note has been getting here.

And I think it’s Onen Hag Oll. (One and all in Cornish.) Onan is something else. Unless you meant that.
It’s a play on words “everyone’s a w@nker”
Onan the Bilingual Barbarian.

Or, of course, they are recent(ish) arrivals who dont speak very good english and have names that are in fact made up (rather than their own names) or which are attempts to be phonetic versions of their true names.
Generally when you see a sentence that reads ‘our speciality include’ – getting the plural versions of words incorrect – it is a sign of poor but not native english. Most people born in an english speaking country will get this right (even if the spelling is wrong), but many foreign languages do not have the same concepts of plurality.
Bugger! Are their names made-up names? I was sitting there trying to nut out what nationality they harked from, and came up blank.
I guess that’s why they’re flogging themselves as cleaners, rather than writing Ph.Ds on existentialim in TS Eliot (if there is any).
this is what happens when you make up the spelling of your kids’ names. They make up their own spelling on everything else too.
