Do You Speak Black Country?
This council road sign was erected to warn of road works and illustrates that even council workers have a sense of humour. it is written in the dialect of the Black Country which is around Dudley, near Birmingham.  I think it translates as:
If you are soft enough to come down here going wrong, your tea will be spilt. 
Thank you Geoff for finding this for me.

    Good try, but the correct translation is "If you're daft enough to come down here on your way home your tea will be spoiled"
