Sign, sign - everywhere a sign!

One of the things that Kath and I noticed while we were driving around the UK and Ireland was how so many of the signs we saw were so completely different from those you would see at home.  I remember one in Derbyshire which warned "Caution Inverse Camber"!  I would venture a guess that not everyone would understand that one.  There were other road signs that were unusual from our perspective.  And, it wasn't just on the roads; we saw pub signs and shop signs that were unique as well.  For a number of years, I've wanted to collect photos of them and this time I did take some - although I did miss others like the one in Whitby that said "Slow Down for Fox Sake!" or one on Dartmoor that said "Take Moor Care".  Anyway, here are a selection that I hope you find amusing, not all of them road signs, mind you.  The photos and the captions should be sufficient so enough dialogue.


We hoped that no lorry weighing
that would cross when we were on the bridge

We thought this was lovely - and we made sure to drive only on the gravel!



No, this isn't about some camel/zebra hybrid.
Humps are speed bumps and zebras are pedestrian crossings
but you sort of need to know that; otherwise, you'd be watching out for some strange looking animal!

This was a sign in a parish churchyard about fund-raising for a church toilet

This on a washroom door.
I know this doesn't literally mean what is says - but really?

Enough said!

 

This on a pub door in Looe

This wasn't so much as an amusing sign but a curious menu item
- we found out what faggots are and we certainly didn't order them!  Suffice it to say, awful offal!



This on the upper level of an open air tour bus

This at the entrance to a lovely shop in Ambleside

This was over a bar in Mevigessey



This outside a restaurant in Belfast - it might have even been the name of the restaurant



I'm sure you can figure out this has nothing to do with baseball!

This was at the start of the drive up Connor Pass to Dingle. 
From the narrowness of the road I thought it should ban camper vans as well!

You see this sign a lot on roads in both the UK and Ireland -
And, indeed, there sometimes are cars and trucks coming at you!

We know what humps are - and, if you don't, you find out pretty quickly!
