Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I haven't seen that one.
May contain nuts on packets of nuts always makes me scratch my head.
My favourite sign is "Beware plant crossing" as I always imagine a little line of Bill and Ben type characters crossing the road.

"heard on the radio of a sign on a train asking that people don't drink from the toilet bowl!!! any made you gobsmacked?"
There are a few...like 'Caution:Hot' on a cup of tea/coffee, isn't that the point?!
I once saw a quote that I thought was great 'I'm not saying we kill all the dumb people, but just take all the labels off everything and let nature take it's course'...sounds good to me! |

The exit to Twycross Zoo used to say "STOP! Dead children crossing". It was there for a couple of years before some keen eyed person realised the grammatical error. It now says "DEAD STOP! Children crossing" |

""Warning. Sign ahead"
On the motorway. I shit you not "
I always chuckle at the ones that say "Caution Fog". Honestly, of you need a sign to tell you it's foggy then you shouldn't be driving. |

But you can see it because of the fog so they have another sign saying "sign blocked by fog" |

I stole a road sign when I was 15 that read "work stops here" which I then used when I moved out of home and put it in the front room. I also stole another sign saying "men at work" which I put in my bedroom.
Oh how I miss being 18!! Lol |

I work in a large health centre and all of our clinic room doors have signs on them such as Treatment Room 1 and so on...under each its written again in Braille...it puzzles me how a blind person will actually find the sign on the door to find the room they want...i imagine one day finding someone feeling his way around the walls until the find a door!  |

The northern power grid vans make me laugh, they have emergency response vehicle stuck all over it, and then this vehicle is limited to 62 miles an hour, I hope it's not much of an emergency |

I have a poster on the wall at home called Sign Spotting. They're photos taken from around the world of various amusing signs . My favourite is the Phat Phuc Noodle Bar. Then there's the Macdonalds golden M next to a sign in a place called Yass. Reads MYass Open at 8am. |

The most annoying is the motorway electronic signs that say pointless things like Junction 4 of M1 closed whilst driving on the M4, or more frequently Queue Caution, last week it was Queue Caution 50mph, then Queue Caution 40mph... there was of course no queue, but had anyone paid attention to the signs and slowed to the advisory speed it could have made a queue  |

There is a Phat Phuc's noodle bar on the King's Road in Chelsea. |

In addition to motorway signs, there are frequently road works signs that state something like 'work starts here 16 May for 21 weeks' so I am expected to use my brain matter to calculate the date it finishes. Safer to say '16 May to 4 September' and change the end date if it ever needs it. |

I did once start a thread on "national speed limits apply" signs and was astounded by the negative responses. I was only suggesting that it would be safer to say what the speed limit is. |
