funny signs, part 7

This is the final funny signs (and other miscellaneous oddities) post. I'm sure there are a lot more out there waiting to be discovered, but you're just going to have to come over and find them on your own!

Only in England do you play a sport (aka cricket) in a white v-neck sweater. (I think the guy in the lab coat is the referee)


Only in England do people trust you to pay for parking using guilt alone. (And just so you don't get the wrong idea, this is exceptionally cheap parking.)


Ok, now who in their right mind wants to buy a house on Bad Bargain Lane??


The British really don't like dogs fouling the pavement (aka pooping on the sidewalk). This dog looks mighty proud of the result though. I especially like the steam marks—it's fresh alright.


I'm taking the A 1056 to Wide Open...


...right after getting to Burnmouth.


I'm not sure if Scone Palace is in the town of Old Scone or New Scone, but I'm all for a palace dedicated to a bready treat.


The British have an unending list of other funny town names that we haven't been able to get photos of—Newbiggin, Hornby, Bugthorpe, Sockburn, Bagby, Winksley, and Sandwich just to name a few.

This is where Pat and I'd be without TomTom...


Only France could get away with this one.


Apparently at Versailles you have to be on the lookout for runaway wheelchairs near the stairs...


And you should NEVER take your wheelchair into the fountain.
