joburg dog signs
andrew kindly sent me these photos of signs of south african hounds.
this one is very strict and informs us that you can’t utilise the garden if you are a dog.
this one meanwhile warns that transgressors will be prosecuted.
note the floating dog owner (possibly having eaten some of those magic plants shown next to (which you also can’t smoke according to the next one along).

what IS this meant to be ?
french dog signs
here are a couple of dog signs from france from reader Wayne who’s from frankfurt, but from britain.
here’s a classic french dog with the round head top.
wayne writes: this sign has been around the block; noteworthy for almost random geometric shapes for body parts
and here’s some instructions on cleaning away its mess. the dog at the top looks good.
wayne writes: cleaning up after pooping; the pictures are worth 1000 words, which is just as well, cos I don’t understand the words
and here’s some skates he sent. i think the skateboard looks more like some menacing eyes.
wayne writes: stunningly accurate inline skate, and v basic skateboard, both banned. The sign is set in its own paving stone in the ground.
grave error
Vin sent me this photo of a sign on the gate of his local
gravestone maker’s yard. it shows a spectacular lack of planning.
i hope their gravestones are done in the same style.
coca-tourists
it’s two coke cans sneaking up on the tower of london
i don’t usually pick stuff up i find in the street, but i did move these cans round the corner to take this next photo. i think i could have made a better job of this, but time was sadly against me.
bird poo people
here’s a strange thing. it’s a bird poo. but it looks like a man in a hat sitting down whilst waving.
if it had been mother terresa it’d have been a worth a bob-or-two.
dan’s dog
i’m always interested in new dogs signs, particularly when they offer a completely different graphical way of describing said quadropeded woof-ler.
this dog from Almeda has the strangest legs you’ve ever seen (and what a great background of windsurfers)
if you want to understand more about the detail (and why you can’t drink coctails on the beach) you’ll need to read the detail:
that’ll melt if you leave it there
it’s a giant ice-cream on someone’s roof
doors and doors and doors
i looked through this window and all i could see were doors and doors and more doors. the same at the next window too.
