Legal Measures at Border Crossings
Hi
I hope this is correct as it was only on my TV screen for a very short time.
I think it showed a Bulgarian border crossing: there was a sign saying, “ВИНЕТЕН КОНТРОЛ” with English translation, “VIGNETTE CONTROL”.
But what is meant by this word винетен exactly? I know of no satisfactory definition of the English word ‘vignette’ that seems to fit.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon

Road tax sticker inspection
Vignette също е правилно, но конкретно в Англия тази дума не се ползва. Тя звучи твърде френска и дълбоко вкорененият "inverted snobbery" по отношение на френските думи си казва думата ;-)
