Wales agreed to a 'king' after the Normans won the main battles- but insisted on one that didn't speak Norman French. The winning Norman leader gave them his son as the 'Prince of Wales'- boy was about 6 months old and didn't speak French so that little demand of Wales council was met. This might be the cause of signs in 'Baby Talk'. Teasing Alert! Old Celtic speech written down in Latin characters with some old 'Runic' or Greek forms carried over- especially in place names. The Basque country of Spain and France has some similar signage- old tongue and ancient spellings influence the later script or just flat out no new script used by the locals being stubborn.

Clean roads and ditch's, park areas can be the local neatness -- or the local public drunkenness laws that have the convicted imbibers doing community service picking up trash and lots of available labor to do it.
