signs (general)

this way to the sky.

roads themselves don’t go anywhere. perhaps it’s referring to the slow movement of tectonic plates. that would account for the unevenness (oddness) of the road surface.
they shouldn’t let geologists make street signs.

here is a post-it stuck on a door. it says ‘no publicity. thank you very much’. i suspect the house belongs to some failed celebrity who is sarcastically thanking the paparatzi for the lack of publicity he has received.
i should have knocked on the door and asked. but i didn’t.

here is a little plastic exit sign which was blowing down the street. it had obviously taken its own advice.

henley-on-thames is a posh upper class town in the south of england. i was therefore surpised to see that a new shop has opened selling opium to the masses (or equivalent).

i’m happy to lump the two species together.

i have included a Venn diagram here for your convenience:

most of london is now covered in danger tape. including this electricity cabinet with no front door.

this sign informs us that if you push your trolley past this point then the trolley will stop suddenly.
perhaps the reason it would stop suddenly is that you will have driven it in to this brick wall ?

this is one of my favouritist street signs in london. to me it sums up modern Britain. Britain used to be Great with its mighty empire.
but now it’s just Little Britain. and that’s fine with me.

this sign is in a shop next to the local hospital. i’m not sure they should be selling the samples.

you remove your bike or we remove our railings simple as that.

one small point is that it mentions railing singular, but the sign is stuck on to two railings. which railing does it apply to ? if i had a bike i could have experimented. but i didn’t.

here is a good sign. it uses the word prive instead of private to no doubt appear “down with the kids”.
but don’t even think about setting up a bike park or it’ll be removed straight away. i think skateboarding parks would probably be ok, but i’m not entirely sure.
other point to note is that it’s been nailed to the wall with cable clip things instead of nails which is a nice touch.
sometimes the sign itself says more than the sign itself.

this door is closed. but why you ask. read the sign.

it’s been temporarily shut since 1st september 1995

this post-it note was stuck on the road in a parking space.

interesting sign next to a bike rack.
