Thursday 13 - Signs

Here are 13 signs that we were in England & Scotland...

#1 - This is a follow-up to the "Danger of Drowning" sign in the last post. As several commentors mentioned, there is a "Way Out." Just check out the subway platforms in London.

#2 - This sign just screams "Scotland," doesn't it?

#3 - "When taking a shower, please close the door as steam may be liable to set off the fire alarm. Thank you." This was in our London hotel bathroom. It had Mommy paranoid that she was going to make everyone evaculate the hotel everytime she showered. (Don't worry - she showered regardless...)
#4 - This one made Mommy nervous, too. What exactly are the dangers involved with a "Weak Subway?"


#5 - There were a variety of "Fouling" signs around. Just seems so British to refer to poop that way, doesn't it?


#6 - This was at one of the entrances to the Parliament Building in London. Wouldn't you just love to enter a building through the "Sovereign's Entrance?" So grand...


#7 - This "Danger" sign was posted at Ben Lawer's Pass in Scotland. Such a tranquil scene with sheep everywhere, it just seemed out of place. But we could probably use a few more of these signs in our lives, eh?


#8 - Does this really need to be spelled out so clearly? Also at the Ben Lawer's visitor center.


#9 - It's not enough to drive slowly in this neighborhood. Our Scottish neighbors want us to go DEAD slow.


#10 - OK, this sign ONLY makes sense in York, the walled city. This is one gorgeous place to visit - and a walk on the wall just completes the tour. I guess they don't want any "fouling" on the walls...


#11 - Only in England can you insult so politely...

#12 - and have such a witty, dry comeback.

#13 - Doesn't this Edinburgh sign hold true for all of us? If only we could know now what the new priorities are going to be...
