Long vehicle on trucks and those blue arrow,s that tell you which way to go around a roundabout.

Matter of opinion. The long vehicle one advises you if you are about to overtake a long lorry, have you got enough room.
The arrow on roundabouts, well, helpfull of you are used to driving on the continent, just a reminder eh? And there are some roundabouts that are not exaclty clear as to that, Beare Green on the A24 for example.

Neither are at all pointless. If you come up behind a truck on a narrow road you can't see immediately whether it is a 7.5 tonner or a long artic. The 'Long Vehicle' sign is a factor in your shall-I-overtake decision making.
Plenty of twats try to go the wrong way round a roundabout! Any help they can get, the better.

Having all my road signs in Welsh as well as English. It's caused me to go the wrong way on a few occasions as the signs are just so muddled and confused.

You mean you can't tell the difference,between a class 1 hgv and a class 2/3 ?
The arrows on them point the same way whether the writing is in English or Welsh, don't they?

Comon, at night, in the rain, if you're daft enough to want to overtake, it provides possibly vital information.
And no, I have absolutly no idea what the difference between a class I II or III HGV is. Why would I?

The blue directional signs at roundabouts help the Polish builders on the way to their next job.The long vehicle sign on the back of a lorry tells you that enough power to accelerate past it is needed which is a deciding factor if you drive a Micra.

Yeah, but at high speeds, a sign declaring "Caerdydd Gn" isn't much help and results in me missing my junction. The problem with Welsh signs, is that because they have to be bilingual, there's a lot crammed on to a little sign without sufficient gaps between the lines. My bilingual tax disc is possible the most pointless thing EVER.
Edit: I must add, that a lot of the English parts of signs have been stolen / vandalised. So it leaves just the Welsh half.
But I haven't got a car at the moment Dave, after some twat hit me last night.
