A dear friend in India sent this to me and it's too good not to share!
ONLY IN ENGLAND .....
Spotted in a toilet of a London office:
"TOILET OUT OF ORDER. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW."
In a London Laundromat:
"AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES: PLEASE REMOVE ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE
LIGHT GOES OUT."
Outside a London second-hand shop:
"WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT
BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN ??"
Spotted in a safari park:
"ELEPHANTS, PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR."
Seen during a London conference:
"FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN’T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE
ON THE 1ST FLOOR"
Notice in a field:
"THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES"
On a repair shop door:
"WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING (PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON THE DOOR, THE BELL DOESN’T WORK)"
People in other countries sometimes go out of their way to communicate with their English-speaking tourists. Here is a list of signs seen around the world :
Doctors clinic, Rome :
"SPECIALIST IN WOMEN AND OTHER DISEASES."
Hotel, Acapulco :
"THE MANAGER HAS PERSONALLY PASSED ALL THE WATER SERVED HERE."
In a Nairobi restaurant:
"CUSTOMERS WHO FIND OUR WAITRESSES RUDE SHOULD WAIT AND SEE THE MANAGER."
"OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND WEEKENDS TOO."
Interesting...
In a Calcutta Coffee House:
PEOPLE DISCARDING CIGARETTE STUBS IN CUPS WILL BE SERVED COFFEE IN ASH TRAYS
