signs (general)

not living anywhere near the sea i was surprised to find this sign in walking distance from my house. who’d ‘av thought it.
especially since we’d spent the whole of last week on the Isle of Wight which WAS very wet, windy and sandy.

this is my ideal game – only available in Stockholm. warning, contains mooses.

it apes me to say this, but beware of monkeys.

i believe the subway above was not closed

this is a sign from a teeny weeny model of an underground railway construction site (using the cut and cover method).

i was sent these signs by reader marissa (not to be confused with reader rabbit). both are very good.
i particularly like the smartly dressedfulness of these two people. see how the older kid is pushing the smaller one in the back. she’s probably walking too slow. that’ll be because she’s a girl and everyone knows girls can’t walk fast.
or it might be because she hasn’t got any feet. and neither has the bloke. so perhaps he’s using her to steady himself.
i don’t know for sure. i’m just trying to interpret these things for you.

and how about this for a great sign. the problem is that they’ve assumed it will be people who will try and swim, yet it’s actually the ducks who have monopolised the place.
they should wrip that sign up and turn it the other way round.
or better two build a 2-sided one. they could then do one in english for people and one in duck-ish for duck people.
‘quack quack. quackety quack!” it’d say.
probably.

this skip is acces only meaning once you’ve climbed in you can’t climb out.
unless ‘acces’ isn’t a mispelling of the word ‘access’, but in fact a different word which means “you can put stuff in AND take it out”

this sign was in the window of this little house by a play park in Hull.
i hope people read the sign before they go and do their ‘do’s. if not they’d have to gingerly waddle up to the window and knock whilst hoping no-one would see.
and who is this toilet roll dispensing duty ranger ? i bet he counts the sheets out one by one. i hope he rides a horse. rangers should do that kind of thing.

click to inspect this bizarre sign which is on the door at the Royal Festival Hall.

see how this stationery shop has saved money by reusing the letter t in stationary. they could have reused the letter ‘a’ too (if they’d spelt it wrong like i have]. but they didn’t. lukcily.
the end result is partially unintelligable. which i like.

i love the minimilism of this sign. two wiggles and a blob

dan sent me these pictures of a sign factory that he passes occasionally. click the pictures for closer inspection.
what if it’s not actually a factory. what if it’s someone’s collection and they’ve disguised it as a factory to stop the police suspecting ? we’ve rumbled them now though haven’t we.
