More Signs

England is full of entertaining signs, so we wanted to share some of our favorites. The figures on the signs are sometimes very expressive, despite being little more than stick figures. We hope you enjoy!

We saw this sign at Dover Castle. I wouldn't say the figure in the picture is climbing at all.

If you've always wanted to drive a cartoon car, come to England! (Just don't pull a trailer behind your cartoon car.)

The following photo is a little dark, but it's clear enough. The humor in this sign is that it never fails to be true. We've seen it frequently, and we pass it on the way to church every Sunday. There are ALWAYS vehicles driving in the middle of the road (to avoid cars parked on the already narrow roads).

This sign is one of my favorites; it's on EVERY power line post (and other places), but it leaves more questions than answers. (What should one avoid doing to escape death?) The ambiguity is certainly not about the nature of the consequences!

This is my absolute favorite sign so far; it's posted all over around the base. The guy is obviously walking in an 'unauthorised' place, but something about his body language tells me he might be walking out of the closet. He reminds Jacob of Disco Stu from The Simpsons.

I was in a store called Home Base (sort of like a Home Depot), and this sign refers to a department. The other departments in the store were perfectly normal: bathroom, kitchen, plumbing, furniture, garden, etc. Anyone who knows what ironmongery is, please leave a comment on the blog.
