I saw a sign in a ladies toilets on Sunday which said:

"Wet floor, please be careful, may be slippery"

Don't know why they had this as the floor was carpeted!! Did try to slip on it, but with no success.

Near to us a local wag has amended a sign so that we are exhorted to make use of the
"Pubic oo ahs" to get around.

I once owned a SEAT IBIZA diesel and the handbook translation for starting on a very cold morning was like listeneing to Manuel from Fawlty Towers!

"Ramps Ahead" signs often get changed to "Tramps Ahead" which I guess is fairly amusing if you have had a few shandys.
