That will teach them to use cheap lino!!!

Every spring, we get these signs put up in our neighbourhood. It's useful to know there are bears about, but do they really need to tell us the proper form of address for roaming bears?

 

[LH&JC]

Never mind how to address a bear, does anyone else think that a nuisance bear is the kind that steals picnic baskets?

Best, Pete.

 

PS The locals knew about it for years as they built it. My Mother's (RIP) company did the flooring......

Here's an example of a not too unusual sign along highways in North America:

Going back to the theme of the OP - "Sometimes we come across signs that are stating the obvious" - here's a picture of the floor of an elevator on a cruise ship:

 

 

You can get pretty separated from reality (in all sorts of ways ) on these ships, and the company obviously feels an obligation to try and keep you in touch. They are changed, manually, at midnight every night.

Years ago, a well-known German coach company sent one of their tour groups down the M3.....

Do you think this shop in Potters Bar will accept bids on their shower cubicles and jacuzzis?

My son with a genuine advert, his face blanked out because he's even better looking than me and he doesn't want any more fans.

[JZ]

As Horsetan has pictured the coach, I enter this. Of course in German totally inocuous.

I seem to remember a good few years back that I saw a sign on a lampost saying "This way to the beach" in the middle of town, it was very strange seeing the sign, which was located in Chesterfield town centre, which is some distance inland from the beach!!!

Judging by the bus stop, it's what TfL really thinks of London bus users.....

That'll be the influence of the Lancashire Derbyshire And East Coast Railway, which failed to reach two out of the three locations in its name, though it did make it to Chesterfield.
