Silly Signs
 
On the Clifftops at Ogmore on Sea, South Wales

"Can't Ewe Read"

Back.....back..... back...... get back I say!

 
On the harbour at Youghal, Ireland
 
Sign outside the dungeons at Warwick Castle, U.K.

Unsuitable for ANYONE,  I should think!

 
At the gift shop at Niagara Falls, Ontario

Funny place to have the washrooms!

 
The Millenium Centre, Cardiff, South Wales

You need a very large mirror to read this one .... alternatively you could go outside and take a look at the front of the building, and even then it would be difficult to read since half of it is in Welsh and half English.

 
Medical office building, Cornwall, Ontario

Spare a thought for the unwary visitor to Canada, when he or she visits this medical centre in Cornwall, Ontario , only to be faced with this sign and is trying to decide what kind of money they are now using in Canada, especially if the visitor is English speaking.  If you speak French you will have much better luck in deciding what coins you need for the car park machine.

For the non-Canucks  One Loonie = $1 and 1 Toonie = $2

 

The dollar coin was nicknamed a 'loonie' because there is a picture of the loon bird on the reverse side. Then once we had 'loonie' and the two dollar coin was issued it naturally became a 'toonie'

 
Local sign here where I live
 
Welsh Folk Museum near Cardiff

Left:

This is the original milestone made in 1841, which is now standing in the grounds of the Welsh Folk Museum in Cardiff.  The mileage may not be quite accurate as it has been moved from it's original site, but I don't think it is far out in it;s numbers.

 

Right:

"I wonder if the dogs can read these symbols. and what do you do if the dog can't read...and really needs to GO!.....drag him away on his leash while he is still crouching ..... awwwww...that's not nice!"

....and here's a bargain you can't resist ... something that will always come in handy! 

 
En route to Ottawa
