it's all about the packaging.  quite literally in this case.

don't bother me.  ask next door if you've got any enquires.   thank - u (no idea what the little monster thing is.  i wonder if it's meant to be a four legged kiwi ?

good words.  good full stop.  good underlining.

classic village hall signage from my locality.  they work equally well as a set or individually.  all beauties of their genre.

careful placing of my finger to you can't see the rude word on this sign spotted on the streets of london.  frightfully rude

i like this sign.  i especially like how they've clarified it's not actually paper persons they need, it's people delivery persons.  just so you don't get confused. 

it's also interesting that they changed the word 'deliverys' to areas.  probably to avoid a spelling amiguity. 

i do that myself - whenever i try to write scared i never know whether i've written scarred (or vice versa - still not sure) so write 'worried' instead.

this sign was on drinks machine, which may be broken. or it might be mended, in which case remove the sign.

i like this sign. obviously huge amount of work has gone in to writing it with letter stencils, but you would have thought they would have made sure they had enough space for the last word !

i spoke to the chap who wrote this sign and he told me he'd raised £700 for the hospital which was quite fantastic.

i asked him if his answers related to geographic or spiritual lost-ness. he said it was solely geographic lost-ness. rather than soul-y lost-ness i assume.

i love the word faulty. it's a good 'un.

this sign almost made up for the fact they had runned out of pasteries. but not quite.

this sign is a classic. i especially like the 3d effect and the final 'w'

a sign appears in this street about once a year asking neighbours to not leave their rubbish out. i just love the effort that must go in to creating these signs.

i love this sign. it says "why don't you leave our plants alone, you miserable thief".

there's a good use of capital letters (even i agree with their use in this case). And the sentiment is tremendous.

we can only hope the thief reads this little label which was tied to the neck of a large pot plant. they don't call those bits of a plant necks do they ? trunk i meant. sorry.

does this sign instill confidence ? it was in a car repair shop. i'm not sure if CD repair is in the same league as car repairing. although i couldn't repair either so i should shut up.

is this one of the best handwritten signs ever or what ?

it reads "The Bell is not working ! Have a loud knoke on the door. thank you very mush"

Achtung ! - why German ? is the sign aimed at English speaking Germans ? those well known condiment and cutlery thieves ?

Pl. - nice abbrev.

our customer - note the singular form. if they've only got one customer why don't they just give them the condiments and cutlery by hand ?

and very serious consequences for non compliance. And random underlining
