dibber25 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 During my trips to Canada I've occasionally seen signs that made me chuckle, such as the church noticeboard - The afterlife, smoking or non-smoking? or the shop called the Co-op Home & Aggro Centre. This one which appears on the ends of centre beam lumber cars seems to under-play the consequences. 'Fall over' doesn't quite seem to do it justice! Does anyone have any others?

GP9u Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Here's a slightly customized version of that warning that caught my eye at ONR North Bay in 2001. Has a little more impact 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP9u Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) And (not quite on topic but I can't help it) here's an ex-CP gon now apparently owned by a US media mogul's little-known short line that I found at Leaside, Toronto in 1999: Edited December 28, 2020 by GP9u 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 In a land notorious for scary wildlife I find this sign, using a very foreign animal, impressive. Skateboarding Rhinos anyone? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Vancouver Island seems to have toads that are equally large and dangerous - and periodically move home, too! Glad I didn't encounter one! There was a railway connection - I was on my way to the fabulous Kinsol Trestle. (CJL) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good novel signs in the UK, too, like the one from Swindon Works about spending more than 10 minutes in the loo. (CJL) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'm surprised they don't get a visit from Social Services. Just ground them - barbecuing them seems a bit extreme! And I wonder if the Euro Bunwich is still allowed? (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
