Not strictly true ...

Just as I stepped out of the lift I noticed the sign so, unfortunately, did not have a chance to snap a picture. The sign in question said, "Information is not available from this help point at present." However, the information I got from the sign was that the help point was broken, which would have been a clearer message, "Sorry, this help point is broken."

Watch the spacing - again

The may be one of the largest shops for second-hand books but probably not the one of the largest bookshops that has had more than one owner.

2 against 1

I say we head left for the entrance.

[Pretty obvious where that one is]

Should you really be driving?

If you need to be told to let faster traffic past, then you probably should not be on the road. If you need a picture to show you how to do so, you are seriously short of the necessaries to hold a licence and be in charge of a vehicle.

Millars's Pillars

Patrick Millar, who found this is a carpark in Auckland, NZ, says. "I know about these moving columns, they are everywhere. I am glad to see that some Authorities still have a sense of humour."

Um, not overly helpful.

James found this on HP's website when looking for some technical documentation for a new home pc.

Rate this page, how useful was it?
Hmm.. is there a zero option?

Beware soggy sandwiches

Joe B, who found and submitted this says. "I'm somewhat conflicted about this sign, whether it's necessarily a tragedy of literacy. The our/are mistake is pretty sad, especially since the correct spelling is directly above ("try our pick up window"), but misspelling "morning" by adding the "u" to form "mourning" isn't altogether discouraging. At least he knows its a correct spelling, even if it's incorrect for this message."

Still, no point crying about it is there?

C'mon, give us a clue

Robin Henry sent this sign that appears on the road between Al Ain and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Robin says the road is well fenced, so camels or other animals can't get to it, so who knows what the suprises may be.

Still, if they told us, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?
