"PLEASE NOTE

This tree will be felled shortly"

Mixed message

Not quite sure what Grant is telling the local voters here:

a) Vote for constancy by re-electing him.

Mind the Gap

If you have ever visited London, you will know the expression "Mind the Gap"; it is seen and heard at every Tube (metro) and railway station.

Just in case you ever need one ...

So low, you can't get over it

The sign saying "Danger Low Railings" is at least 9' (3m) above the point where you stand to read it.

Never realised they were dangerous

Still you can't be too careful can you?
