handmade bikes

they’ve laid new road round the corner from the office and it looks like they have handrawn the road signs. i would love to meet the man who draws the bikes. I wonder if ‘bike man’ does any other signs ?

topless women go free

It good to know that the word is a better place and that middle class England has moved on from the smut filled sexist 70s.
We went to the Knowl Hill Steam Fair today and they had a fair there. There was one ride where people sat in a row and got thrown all over the place.

The sign on the door revealed a particularly special offer

Whilst we were there all the riders were payers

TIF

I saw this in the gutter. We don’t know who dropped it, so we are unable to say if it is a lover’s tif

bording school activities

in the boarding school where we were staying they had an Activities Board. It appears that smoking is the norm in this school as one of the Activities is Not Smoking. It sure is a healthy activity.

ancient lights

i must have walked past these ancient lights tens of hundreds of times, but today, for the first time, i noticed the sign which says “ancient lights”

they are on either side of the pub opposite my office called the Hope and there are two signs next to the two (ancient) lights.
it’s next to the Pollocks Toy Museum. next time you are in London, why not visit both attractions at the same time (and take me out for lunch as well)

being sensible

i was wondering if i should tone down the blog and introduce some more sensible content. then i saw this:

i took it as a sign

bras

i saw this sign on the boat from saint malo.
bras ! i think the idea is that you abandon your bra if you are leaving the UK so you can be a true european (they also had some stick on arm pit hair)

Now, i’m not stupid. i can read a bit of french. and i know that enfants means babies. and everyone knows that kids don’t wear bras.
so i recon you can also leave your kids in this locker if you want.
