it's about time smokers pulled their weight and were given a job of their own. 

of course, some people may find butts beautiful (i cannot lie)

it might be small, but it's all they've got left.

a nice use of a single 'in this area' at the bottom there.  although i would think that goes without saying. 

i also note someone stole the no loitering symbol.

nice layout on this little sign.  and nice placing of the provided word

andrew marr was doing some program on darwin at the henley show.  no idea why. but there we go.  he was playing it very cool, but we stopped and watched

i  like this sign a lot.  it's obvious who it's aimed at and what they need (not) to do.  and the final sentence in brackets is very ominous: "If necessary we will telephone Mr Smith".

is smoking by the not smoking sign a red card offence do you think ?

there's been a blossoming of no smoking signs in recent days due to the smoking ban in the UK. most of them have been sad and generic (and many are upside down, unless smoke is particularly heavy in some places), however, this one was proudly shouting it's non compliance

i like how this chalked sign fits nicely with the brick breaks

this is a bit weird though. it's dog breedism.

this sign is very interesting. click for a big version. it's written by a librarian which might account for the wordiness of instructions

this is a great sign medley. you've got a long sausage dog at the top (rarely seen in dog signs), a cigarette sign the wrong way up (unless the smoke is being blown downwards by an over head fan and a rather compact no bikes sign.

all good stuff.

i don't normally post the same dog twice, but this chap is standing next to a cigarette thus allowing me to make a pun around the concept of 'dog ends'. here's the original version of this chap

and here's another varient:

these giant cigarette things are in the entrance to viennese underground stations. i'm not a smoker but i almost considered starting so i could use one of these beauties !

andrew suggested this might make a good photo so i tracked it down and here it is. you'll probably need to click it to see the big version to get the detail
