Signs and wonders

Post by Dinky »

I really like unusal or misreadable signs such as :

Children
drive
slowly

and one I wish I had photographed

Drive thru hand car wash (sounds very painful)

heres one from salisbury plain which I think could be translated as no picknicing

and one for all gloom and doom merchants

You may well ask whats the point of driving carefully at worlds end.

Have you got any strange signs?

Whenever I see a sign saying "Wet Floor" I treat it as an order....

A perfect example :thumbs:

one I really loved was the old woolworths mamoth sale.

I wish I could have had a video of the girl on the checkouts face when I asked where the mamouths were.

Saw a great one on the m3 motorway it seemed to say that people who drive frontiers were drunks as it read

"Don't drink and drive FOG" (Frontier Owners Group)
