    Notices for a Laugh

    I took this picture in a shore-side cafe in Lake Como.

    Has anyone else some amusing or crazy notices to share with us all?

              It never went anywhere on my computer.

                Here are a few that have appealed to me in my travels around the country. Boarders will not be surprised to see that they have a railway theme.

                Did you know that horses could read, a hundred years or so ago?



                I have this on my desk at work. It sums up much of what I am asked.



                And this, reminiscent of a less-pc age

                  I did see a really lovely one in a newly refurbished Gents just outside Dorchester, on the A 35.

                  The large and gleaming stainless steel urinal, which was about 8 ft long, had a long water feed pipe to the middle.
                  Above it was the sign:

                  "NOT DRINKING WATER".

                  Didn't take a photo , for obvious reasons, and it has now gone, sadly.
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                  I am not a number, I am a free man.
