Jules Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 My local chippie/chinese has a sign on the door 'No Dog'. I'm not sure if the 's' is missing or if it relates to the menu... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted December 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2011 Years ago at the local job centre one half of a double door was out of order and bore a sign saying "Do not use this door" to which was soon added "You might get a job".

pH Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I was once in a building where there were notices beside the fire alarms saying 'Fire alarms in this area not working today due to maintenance'. Someone had put another notice by one alarm saying "In case of fire, break glass and shout 'Fire!'". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Welly Posted December 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2011 I went to a boarding school. At the time I was there the food wasn't very good and several pupils reacted quite openly. One day the school authorities put up a notice on the dining room's door, "Do not makes faces and say the food is disgusting" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 When a company I worked for moved to new premises, in Great Yarmouth, they removed all the old signs from the interior of the building -which had been a Jobcentre. I kept one and it is now displayed on my shed door. It reads ' No dogs, except guide dogs and NO CHIPS'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2011 There used to be a sign as you approached Harwich that said 'Harwich for the Continent' to which someone had added 'Frinton for the incontinent'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2512silverfox Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The Harwich for the Continent sign was on Liverpool St Station early 70s and was an official sign. Students added the Frinton part underneath in whitewash! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted December 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2011 Visiting my supermarket yesterday, they have moved the chilled chicken to another fridge back to back with the usual one, to make way for hams. The sign says 'Chicken moved to other side'. I wonder how they got the chickens to do this? Kevin Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
