Metro Light Rail and Metro Monothingy did an audit of staff to find who
spoke foreign languages. The range was Arabic to Urdu. Said staff have been
issued with a neat little enamelled badge of the flag representing the
language spoken.

Had a joke with a Pole about pinning  the badge on right way up as she
doesn't know a single word of Indonesian!
