Poetry

(click picture to read it better)

Apart from being beautifully framed - this notice is quite poetic in a blank verse sort of way.

But, so many questions to ask. What sex are the customer toilets and what can I change my baby for?

Still - it is helpful - thanks ASDA (Walmart).

UNITS

I'm an ex science teacher - so I'm very fussy about units. Examiners would deduct all the marks if units were not stated correctly.

The top sign is in Catalunya. I don't know what N stands for - Nots?

The bottom sign is in Tameside. Lower case m stands for metre - so I hope nobody thinks it's only 1metre to the WC.

Lead Free.

The dog owners didn't understand this notice - let alone the dogs.
And I thought 'Lead Free' was about petrol.

It was asking for that!

And doesn't the yellow bit look like Bart Simpson!?

Dr. BUTT

Get the snip while you wait for your cab or book a holiday.
Trust Dr. Butt of Rusholme.

Taken from the top of the bus.

Blackpool

I have a real soft spot for Blackpool having spent many holidays there as a kid.

I was amazed to find this box containing a bottle of whisky in Avignon (Yes France) of all places.

So I bought it for my mum.

Unfortunately, when I visited last year, Blackpool didn't quite live up to the classy image on the box.

There's always a way out.

But I still love it.

King of TONGA

Everyone loves walking round Dovestones reservoir and looking at the views.

Very few visitors actually notice this commemorative stone. The King of Tonga came over for Diana's wedding to Charles in 1981 and came up North to look at our marvellous reservoir so he could have one built in Tonga.

Mullard?

There's a great sign in our park showing us all the birds we might see on and around the pond.

But I don't think they got the name of this duck quite right do you?



Unless they sang a duet with Hylda Baker. (Sorry about the link)

Surely NOT!

Exactly what are they advertising here?

A new notice in the park says:

"DO NOT FEED the BIRDS.
The lake has an eco system which provides for their food needs."

That coot (top left) doesn't look too pleased about it

Voting Labour?

This was in the rear window of a very old car.

I don't suppose you'll see many around during the next few months - even in Manchester.

Benvinguts.

BENVINGUTS means welcome in Catalan.

But the rest of the notice seems to contradict this statement.

Tripe

I bet there aren't many tripe shops left.

What???

No idea?
Have you?
