I thought of Nigel Farage...

 

[garryknight]

Well, how would I know? You said it is!

So the bears aren't scary then?

Not far from the Yorkshire Burrito stall

It will have been turned to water by now

Somehow I can't see it.

I shot this in Taiwan recently - apt if you've ever been on the receiving end of a stern telling off! When someone has been given a Boloking - you now know where they got it from!

We walk past that every time we go to Guildford........not wanting to spoil the jokier interpretation

It is as the name "says" a takeaway. In this case of the (I think now closed?) Thai restaurant called Sir & Madam.

 

[garryknight]

We could all get something to eat there, if we had a whip-round...

 

[garryknight]

Oh, no, they're not. They're really not.

Oh, Get Hooked!

And this one near Kalk Bay.

It’s not really rude, but I’m childish and immature, so it made me laugh.

I expect this has been done before. (Within 50 yards of the Clifton bridge viewing point)

Is it particularly known as a spot for people to jump from?

 

[Erty]

Not that I know of, unlike the bridge itself. Thousands of photographers must have walked past that sign over the years. Incidentally, there is a cafe in the public records office on the ground floor of the big red building. This is open in working hours and the entrance is next to the flyover.

Why is it amusing?

Why is it amusing?

I was wondering that too.

I was wondering that too.

I'm glad somebody asked.

One way trip up the fire escape and over the balcony at the top.

I saw this thread a couple of days ago and went through the whole thread.

It brought to mind a couple of pics of signs I have seen.

The first is a bit of a niche one. If you ever, (or if you have ever) visit(ed) Venice, you will be looking at the street signs a lot as you try and work out where you are, and most of the time you either see a sign to the Rialto or San Marco, as they are the two biggest tourist traps, but I found a sign where it doesn't seem to matter which way you go, you will get to both.


Now the other one is also Venice, but I'm not sure what they are trying to say, "ladies beware of men looking over the wall when you are in the toilet", or "chaps can look over a wall at the ladies in the toilet here". If it is such a problem that they have gone to the trouble of putting a huge slightly cryptic sign in a glass door, then why not just design your toilet so it is not a problem like everyone else.

 

[redhed17]

I saw some altered stop signs in the thread earlier, and here are a few street signs from Florence. I've seen a few more in Naples and Rome, but I can't find them atm.

 

[redhed17]

And some more.

 

[redhed17]

And a final one, which is a twofer, as you can only attach three files above.

Now you know what makes a venetian blind.

Nah!
You need to do better than that....

Or just put a load of tables and chairs in front of the door so no one can use it anyway.

I know exactly where it is - my niece has it. She moved from Buckingham to Yorkshire when she went to Uni ten years ago and, to us, now sounds like a local.
