"Swiss Menu: Our wines leave you nothing to hope for."

I know exactly what the meant but it definitely isn't what they said. :P I had a similar experience to this on holiday once. There was this guy outside his restaurant, trying to entice people in and he assured me that they "made their own potatoes".

Again, I knew exactly what he meant but he'd said something compltely different. :P

That said, I don't speak a word of his language, so I'm in no position to criticise. I always try to remember that when I see a slightly off sign; their English is already far superior to my grasp of their language. A professional translation company isn't an option for everyone and for the most part, a slightly off sign never hurt anyone.
