Ha! Ha! I get such a kick out of those cute British sayings. The first time I visited the UK, I took pictures of the signs. One that had me giggling was outside a tailor’s shop, “Don’t faint on the street, come in and have a perfect fit.”

I collect signs wherever I go. In fact, I have two new ones (coming up on Wednesday’s post) that completely mystify me.

Thanks! I’m putting together a little book of doggie posts, and trying out some line drawings to include.

Here’s one of my favorites (from Sue Murph) for your collection: “Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in? I think that is how dogs spend their lives.” 🙂

Great post on ‘worrying.’ The Brits are so polite and reserved. 😉

Someone (from another country) once commented on the CAUTION, SLOW CHILDREN signs in our neighborhood.

So much harder to hit the fast children…
UK street signs are an unfailing source of humor to Americans. I can (barely) keep a straight face when ordered to “hump, 500 yards” but the “humped zebra crossing” inevitably inspires drink-spewing hysteria.

As a Brit visiting the USA, I also saw some signs that made me roar with laughter – it’s amazing that we actually do understand one another sometimes!

Oooh! Examples please. (One of my perennial American faves is “Soft Shoulders Ahead”.)

I collect them too – and until a year ago when my youngest sister died – we exchanged and shared these signs. There must be hundreds here and there. I also love ‘doctors’ signs’, especially when a gyno was called Metzger (butcher)…. I must say I found that sign very worrying!
