Nahhhhh.... They've got to have protection as their insurance won't pay up unless one is installed. If the church doesn't have a lightning conductor, the insurance company would disallow the claim because its an Act of God... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof that god exists, relies upon you having a Lightening Conductor fitted, so your Insurance will pay up, when god decides to throw the Thunder and Lightening stuff at your church......... .........

richard i Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Seen up on the moors. I managed to convince my kids that the trees got up and moved around.

Hi Johnster, I used to tell my daughter that the ice cream van played a tune as warning that they had run out of ice cream. It nearly worked the first time I tried the story, after that she used to tell me that we should rush to get to the front of the queue before they actually did run out.

I tell them that it has already run out and it is playing to say not worth going to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 No picture I'm afraid, and yes I do understand the seriousness of the present "C-word", but this made me chuckle. Whittlesey, near Peterborough last week. I came across a set of temporary traffic lights for roadworks (pipe laying?) in the opposite lane. They were situated at a junction into an estate on the rhs which was closed, presumably the next road got you there anyway? Footpath was still open round the corner though for pedestrians, complete with a H&S fence to stop them straying into the road works. I noted the big yellow warning sign for the pedestrians. "Due to Covid 19, pedestrians should obey the lights" (or words very similar). They had installed "green man" lights either end of the curve for pedestrians, completely independent of the roadworks lights! I can't see those lights being obeyed....

Ruffnut Thorston Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Seen on a walk.... I presume that the lower sign is for the benefit of any passing canines? 4 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The entrance to underground parking beneath local apartments: With this notice on the wall on the right: I presume it means not to follow a car immediately in front and risk getting caught by the descending gate. But it could have been phrased a bit better. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted August 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think it has more to do with the leaving car loitering at the top of the ramp long enough for the gate to close to deter "low life" from entering the basement before the gate has closed.

I think you’re right. I did wonder why it was on that side of the ramp, which would be the ‘passenger’ side going down. But a sign hung from the roof, in front of a car going up the ramp, would surely be more obvious. (But this is all so unnecessary - we have no ‘low life’ in Port Moody! ) 1 hour ago, JZ said: Probably says 2.08M Yes - 2.08M = 6ft 10in to the nearest inch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(To the letter - not the spirit.) Kev. Supermarkets could reduce their electricity bills if they only had one pair of automatic doors opening, and one side was for entering and the other was for exiting! I can’t remember where it was, but recently I saw a sign which said ‘When ascending these stairs, please walk on the left. When descending these stairs, please walk on the right.’ 1 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
