Teachers are finding it “more and more difficult” to “grapple” with the growing list of names they need to learn as new pupils come into their classes each year, said the Daily Mail. One teacher shared a list of unconventional names from her September register after having a “quick scan of the school enrolments” for this year. The “unusual names” would test “even the most accurate of spelling whizzes”, said the paper, including Rhydah, Presillar, Christisarah, Anjewel’Lea and Biar Biar.

Welsh drivers confused by signs
Drivers on a road in Wales have been confused by contradictory speed limit signs, depending on which direction they travel. Visitors to Llannor, on the Llŷn Peninsula in the county of Gwynedd, were greeted by two signs upon entering the village. The sign on the right side of the road marked it as a 20mph area, while the one on the left was marked at 30mph, noted Sky News. A spokesperson for Gwynedd Council said: “We can confirm the signs have now been rectified.”
