Neither showing here

(I hope it's not just a "To Let" sign in which some wag has added an "i".)

I didn't take a photograph, but I saw in a cafe a notice saying something like "For health & safety reasons [!] customers' own food should not be eaten on these premises; except for children."

I enjoyed this on on a visit to St Winefride's Well, a catholic shrine in Holywell.
Wouldn't be out of place in Father Ted....

There's a confusing road sign in Kent. Three signs, all for the same place but pointing right, left and straight ahead.

No photo I'm afraid.
