no houses on skis

helen (on the right here) sent me this which she claims means no houses on skis.
we’re due a cold winter this year which i’m actually quite looking forward to. i like a bit of cold (assuming i have a nice warm coat). (and hat).

a prog rock album title ?

i remember taking a picture of one of these signs back in november 2003. it seems the experiment continues.
although perhaps they should consider a ‘sign casualty reduction signal timings experiment’ as this sign is looking a bit worse for wear.
and wouldn’t ‘Pedestrian Casualty Reduction Signal Timings Experiment’ make a great title for a prog rock album ?

swallowfield show signage awaiting deployment. i’m looking forward to seeing where the ‘fishing in the field’ signs goes.


something i missed

most of my photos are taken on the way to or from meetings and other work activities. often i see things and simply don’t have time to stick around and see how they pan out.
here’s a good example. it’s the set of an outside play called ‘the hole job’
look at the fantastic sign in the background of this (you’ll have to click to see properly):

here’s the general set:

the advert

loopholes

i think you can get round this sign by leaving a singular object. you can avoid having your items removed and disposed of by attaching them to the railings with anything other than chain.

do nothing is better than doing something

these people claim they are working hard to minimise disruption. they could cause less disruption by not working at all.
there’s a graph in there somewhere.

just say no

your caring sharing council.

gift warp

vin spotted this which is very good. wonky gifts a speciality.

Turkish Bath- Closed

i walked past these Turkish baths on the way to an art preview last week.
i love this sign. it’s got a simple headline, and an equally explanatory sub heading.
then, for those who want to know, it explains in unexpected detail exactly why the Turkish bath is closed (click the picture for a readably sized one)
what’s more it was produced by the local council !
i wasn’t looking to have a Turkish bath, but i did feel refreshed by this sign.
