Nice catch! Made me laugh - probably some truth there.

Footpaths are blighted with almost as many signs as the roads !

How does a semi-illiterate get a job designing signs? There is no apostrophe in "Areas"

This is a great one, Dana! And a scary thought.

About posting images on the forum - you are correct. The limits are different on the forum. That's to keep the thread load times down and keep the threads formatted correctly. The gallery actually doesn't have any limits (that anyone will notice, anyway). The gallery and forum serve two different purposes and hence the differences. If I plan to post something on the forum, I size it accordingly. If I want a larger version in the gallery, I use the edit link in the gallery to replace the smaller image with the larger version.

Hope that clears things up for you.

A locked cage at the motorway services just for children?

S/W

in the inimitable words of basil fawlty..


"you have a masterful grasp of the bleedin' obvious."

there was another photo/sign that we had doing the rounds during katrina.

bunch of rednecks in full hunting gear in a swamp boat. sign said "you loot. we shoot."

also connected with katirna when everyone asks me if i was here during katrina (actually i have been here 30 years) i say yes.

and in fact we helped out a lot. we sent 2 plane loads of scallies to help with the looting..

oh well, i'll get me coat.


:blush2: :blush2:

Another one spotted out shopping recently.

Not a sign, but a whole exhibition stand full of misplaced apostrophes.
The Connector Specialist's ... what?

Another job not to apply for ...

I assume middlewear is somewhere between underwear and an overcoat.
Some kind of new Oracle softwear engineering tool?

There may be a dog...

Attachment 50762

The Connector Specialist's back, I suppose?

If he's back, where's he been?
Probably to the greengrocer for another apostrophe...

Caught this one walking around the university this evening...

But it's a land rover, and prob a profs car. You know the one you hate, ya prob his.

Lots to watch for

Ok......I can park my car but where do I get a bath?

Paul,

You can't argue with the sign - a hug is great for all passangers.:blush2:

If you had to get first aid and go west of the cure, would you still need first aid if you past the cure?

(Firestone Plant, Hamilton)

Here are 2 of my faves from a long time ago lol One is from Gulf Shores on the cow is upstate NY, what do they do to the cows there? lol

Lol,Lori-"Danger,cow tippers at work ?"

I thought it was just yoopers who indulged in cow tipping ?

My in-laws from Texas and New Mexico indulged in their youth...so guess not.

Can I interpret your thread by context ?

-Showering together for peace?

LOL these are great! Susaan I am hoping they were tipped :lol:

Another one spotted on a day trip to a car rally in Germany

Can you work out this sign ?
It was the reason for the queues ...

I think the bath is in the Taco Bell, or was it McDonalds? :rolleyes:

One from my walk yesterday. What you can't see is this sign is at a T intersection. Someone (my guess) was texting while driving and didn't see the stop sign and they took out a fence with signs letting you know that the road ended. Also this is at a corner where the high school is, go figure.

Surely "UNLS UR BSY TXTNG" ?
I like it :)

Interesting speed limit

Yes, why 12, not 10 or 15 ?

An itinerant pedant, perhaps ?

Arts graduate in speeling checker incident !

Sad juxtaposition, a sign of the times indeed.

I didn't take these but I thought they were pretty funny.

Read the fine print on the first one.

LMAO! Now that's funny!!!

So now it's a payway? Tollway? Or just a way?

Which brings to mind the eternal question:

Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?
