correct sign

remember the incorrect sign. well, the cafe has obviously employed a reading-expert who has now put jacket potatoes in the space marked jacket potatoes.
the same shop also has a nice picture menu. i like picture menus. you can see what you’ll be getting. saves visualising.
i especially like how they’ve crossed one of the plates out. or perhaps they serve it with lines on.

road sign obsessive

i like obsessives. here is a particularly good one.
it’s a study of road signs

wherever i leave my hat …

there’s always the problem of where to leave you straw hat. it’s not always easy.

Q1: who am i?

the first question of the 20 questions is ‘who am I’ ?
the answer is probably ‘various’. but here’s a start.
i’m a pedestrian taking a different footpath.

do you like this sign by the way ? it’s very sturdy with its wooden support structure.

strictly no digging

cloaks

does anyone actually wear a cloak these days ? they’re all probably packed away with monacles and cravats in a box marked ‘dandy’

rugby in a pub

i think this might be slightly ambitious. a small pub in london is proposing to host all the rugby games.
i don’t know much about sport, but i do know that rugby platers are quite large, and just fitting them in this little bar would be hard enough, let alone letting them run around and bash in to each other.
perhaps it’s got a large cellar bar.

i suspect the landlord might be even more deluded if he/she thinks they can avoid serving the players beer by enforcing this policy:

i suspect there may be a lot of dissapointed people in this pub. both on and off the pitch.

alternative route

i got sent this lovely sign from Hampton Court from EasyRew. It made me laugh.

ouch

incorrect

i walked past this shop earlier in the week and it was full of jacket potatoes. i should have taken a photo but i didn’t. but today the sign shows bacon and sausages where once the potatoes were.
very interesting.

lost cat

here is a sad story. someone has lost their cat. we lost one of our cats when esther was little and we had to put signs up all over the village and it was very sad. it never showed up our other cat died a few weeks later. now we are catless. oops. that was a sad story.
anyway, esther has a Richard Scary book about a girl’s baby doll getting accidentally baked in to some bread. the bread then says “mama” and they find it unharmed
when the baker mews, i suspect the cat may have gone the same way.

mouse out of its box

here is a little message left in our church hall. it says “there is a mouse eating biscuits not in a box”.
i suspect we can interpret this message in different ways.
