purchased items only
children are not for sale
no blowing kisses
possibly the best every sign of a person (bottom right - click it for a better view)
sorry nice people only
don't just be nice. be sorry
beware neighbourhood watch
the gang is back in town
men and women
genders on a sign
don't forget your suitcase
there's something excellent about how new zealanders do their signs. they add much more detail than you'd get in a typical british slapshod sign.
take this chap for example.- he's got trousers, separate feet and hand a rather broken arm with a suitcase hanging from it.
the extra detail don't always make for a better picture, but they are great to look at
some good signage
apologies for the numerous signage pictures this week. australia was full of boss signage
electric boogaloo
there's something not quite right about the joined hands here. unless they are body popping. or the one behind is chasing the one in front with a scythe
no pedestrian catching
i think i've probably taken a picture of this before, but it's still a goody, so worth showing again
intertwined
this is a bit of a mystery. it's a black wheel chair and a strange yellow one all a bit mixed up. kezia was confused
polish kids on signs
what's on the end of the stick (vic) ?
elderly people
kezia said this sign must mean elderly people are people over 30 years old. but she also told me people put cucumbers on their eyes so they look like people with cucumber eyes, so i don't believe everything she says. so i suggest you don't either.
slow perspective
viewed sideways it looks all longy
super hero launch pad
this chap is wearing a cape and definitely flying upwards
andy's fantastic scary eyes picture
andy sent me this sign from a dinosaur park in Norfolk. He was particularly impressed by the scary eyes. and so am i !
floating away
the postman at the bottom is quite funny too.
elderly persons in the vicinity
i love these old people signs which show a little old lady pushing an old man down the street. "you be careful dear" she's shouting whilst pushing him over.
or is she tickling him ? or stealing his purse ?
great use of the word 'vicinity' too.
floating child
the person on the left is definately floating away. but when you look at it again, i think they are both floating.

flying cars
brother edd sent me this sign of a car falling on someone's head. worrying stuff.
andy's signs
andy went to eurodisney or whatever it's called in the modern world, and caught some great french signs for us:
red scarf made from shoe heels
here's a sign from a german escalator. there's a dog sign in there, but the most intriguing one is the bottom right. it looks like her red scarf is made from the same material as her shoe heel. crazy belgians.
a dancing sign
look at this fantastic river-side dancing sign.
visual development unit
is this place for giant eye transplants ?
diana memorial garden
you might have heard about the diana memorial garden ? it's been a bit of a classic - originally a nice idea but went all a bit wrong when people slipped in the water channel. oh well
it's actually looking very nice now
and see how many categories i can put it in: no dogs, no cycles, people, royalty and slippery floor
life sized pedestrian crossing sign
i like to get my perspective all wonky, but i tried to show you just how large this pedestrian crossing sign is. it's quite high up and contains a life sized person !
it's on little britain so it's no wonder it's a bit strange
the end for the end
hoorah for napster and quickly being able to find The End by the Doors whilst i write this post. obviously you can't hear it, but i can and that's great.
strange shaped children crossing
here's a belgian sign warning about children crossing. here it is in context with my lovely wife jane wearing her rain coat because belgium is always rainy.
the devils definately, non-literally, in the detail in this, so i urge you to click to inspect the fullness.
