Crazy signs 2008
« on: January 09, 2008, 04:50:42 PM »
There may be a spot on the website already for these but I haven't noticed it. I was going through my holdiay snaps from Prague taken last September and found one I had forgotten. It made me laugh :D I hope it does the same for you.

Odd really! So is mine and I thought I was unique ;D As my old Granddad used to say 'You know what thought did, he followed a muck cart and thought it was a wedding'. Very profound was my Granddad.

Last few. Any more and I would be ashamed to show my face again on this forum.

Brian, that is obviously a sign explaining that the Great Yarmouth football team has a fine set of Cheerleaders... ;)

Mark,

Which is always a concern..... if it is only a "may".  What do the rest of the packets contain?  :o

Great signs everyone.  I particularly like the "Whale watching is not an emergency" sign.

Not signs exactly but on a similar theme...... both captured in the Dolomites.

Could be titled.....

Alas they modified the sign at the Keir roundabout a mile out of Dunblane which said "Cathedral" and then below "services".

Cliff,
I knew you could not be far behind!

David,
I took these from the internet - to add interest to reading lessons for the kids at school.
