“Are there standards of grammar, spelling and literacy that just should not be tolerated? And is the English language in a state of permanent revolution or set in stone?”

dont drink drive many languages translation

In April 2010 the issue of drink driving was raised at The Royal College of Nursing’s annual congress, after delegates argued for a complete ban on consuming alcohol before driving and the introduction of a zero alcohol limit.

As you may be aware, the current legal limit for drivers across Britain is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.  However, in most European countries the limit is 50mg or lower.  There is a zero alcohol limit in Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

And now a campaign is being mounted to get London Councils to take their responsibilities of communicating with ethnic minorities seriously.

All councils are judged on how well they deliver their strategic plans to the community, and these results determine the councils’ star ratings.

Prestige Network already provide Public sector organisations with translation services and interpreting services to many Local Authorities.
