hoovernut Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I saw this on the lid of the toilet on a East Midlands 158. It made me chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Virgin Voyagers also have these, and exactly the same text is announced over a speaker just after the toilet door is closed. It does get a bit wearing the third and fourth time - perhaps stuff the ex's sweater into the speaker instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 And across SWT's entire Desiro fleet so far as I can tell. No announcement, thank goodness... Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have a problem with that I've been married for 37 years and my ex would be her predecessor and I haven't seen her since attending a funeral 10 years ago.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2015 these signs bug me so much, virgin have signs on the platforms too with things like "slow down tiger" and "woah there" rather than saying "please do not run" or "do not board the train unless you intend to travel" as an aside anything that that refers to an inanimate object as a 'living thing' winds me up too wilco's products also have slogans all over them that annoy me too oh and to top it off there was an advert on tv last night that said "please do not shampoo your eyes" then the next ad featured a plumbing supplies company selling a "bath filler", i remember when they were called taps!

BG John Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 So does that mean we now have basin fillers, sink fillers, and for outside use, hose fillers? And for that other water related device in the bathroom, did nature endow me with a toilet filler? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted August 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2015 A manager would say "I used a multitinned device to process a starch resource" i.e. use a fork eat a potato quote from "the Dilbert Principle" - well worth a read Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 thats as maybe but i've certainly never told the kids to "turn the bath filler off" You mean "retro-deploy the bath filler"?

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted August 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2015 It keeps a lot of copy writers gainfully (?) employed and prevents them doing anything worse. Is one of them employed by DCC Concepts (below, at least it was when I wrote the sentence)? By the way, I hope the device was multitined rather than multitinned.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted August 29, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2015 its things like this that bug me too, the cheeky smile bit, why? It's called a "sense of humour". Some people don't like be observed by CCTV (cue all the "if you've nothing to hide" posts) so a bit of humour may temper the message for them; give others a laugh and bug people like Big Jim.
