A Sign of the Times

If there is one thing British people love more than queuing, it’s road signs.  However, to the American tourist, they can be quite confusing.  Here’s my translation for some of the signs I have come across so far:

_1286984_car.300  Caution: Drunk Driver Ahead

motorcycle Stunt Team At Work

Horses must also obey the speed limit

No tipping Sept 09ws

Tipping of Cows is taken very seriously over here

sea wood

Pedophile in residence: Police take note

and finally, my personal favorite

sea wood 059

Area known to be frequented by elderly pickpockets

or

Caution: Handsy Elderly People Ahead

  1. Too funny. I just saw a Top Gear last night where James talks with the woman who helped design all the road signs in Britain. She did the kids crossing the street, or Pedophile in residence, all by herself.
