It's The Way That You Ask

Jenny, author of the blog An English Travel Writer posted Signs of The Times yesterday.  As always it was an interesting post and, as always it had some unusual and interesting photos in addition to information: Jenny is, after all, a travel writer (amongst other things).  She also has a very keen eye for good photos.  However today what realy struck me was the wonderful psychology evident in this notice:

Thank you Jenny.  I know you are busy

Evidence on the day seemed to suggest that it works!

It reminded me of an equally interesting notice that Pauline and I saw in Northland on our last visit:

Even Pauline turned back and that has to be a first!

Passed It

When we were at a garden centre yesterday CJ pointed out the following notice.  We just had to stop and get a photo.

So that large yellow thing isn't a vehicle?

I Couldn't Resist

I have passed this notice for as long as I can remember.  The road leads nowhere I have ever wanted or needed to go and it is, I think, a dead end.  So I cannot recall ever driving down it.  Until a few days ago.  I had to see the Butt View Stores.  Well I drove to the end of the road (about 1.5 miles) to no avail.  On the way back we discovered what probably had been the Butt View Stores and it was exactly 1/2 a mile from the road end.  However there was no store now and no Butt view either.  Some you win and some you lose.

Happy Chickens

At Otterton Mill where Helen and Ian's wedding reception was held this notice was displayed:

Don't Jump

Perhaps not the ultimate penalty: death or a broken back could be worse.
