No that isn't a typo, that would be welsh for "Dining Room" (or so I would assume). The blue sticker is a fire door -keep shut notice.

This reminds me of that carpet in Pine Brook (i think?) Where the green stuff was growing out of the rug.

Nope, it was in English... the language seemed predominantly English in paperwork and signage here.

Not enough vowels for my taste!

You couldn't happen to tell what all those lumps on the floor were, could you?

Wow...that door really caught my attention for some reason. It's very solid and sturdy looking, even now, and the color has stayed on it. Also the green on the floor is a lovely color...I'm assuming its moss?

Gives me that cold , sanitary look of hospitals of old. Even though it's in bad shape, I can see it in its prime. COLD & SANITARY. No compassion, just business as usual. Those poor people.

You can get Welsh Scrabble sets, but with the scores adjusted & some pairs of letters on one tile as they in effect count as one letter, like CH & LL in Spanish.

Those kinds of 'Fire Door - Keep Shut' signs are really common in the UK. You see them everywhere in schools, et cetera.

W and Y are vowels in Welsh... 'Denbigh' was a by-word for mental illness when I was growing up.

Oh, and completely random info - it's pronounced 'Uhstahvell vooitah'. Trouble is that the 'll' sound doesn't exist in the English language...

...you have to sort of put the tip of your tongue on your palate and blow air across the sides of your tongue (like a slightly bonkers sideways lisp, really), without using your voice at all.

And this concludes my pointless and dull lecture :p
