If you’re painting, there seem to be two options if you find a sign attached to the wall:
- Remove the sign, paint the wall, replace the sign
- Paint very carefully around the edge of the sign
However, if you’re a painter currently working on our new floor at university, there appears to be a third option:
Just paint over the sign and hope nobody notices.
I’ve just been listening to Nick Ferrari’s Breakfast Show on the way in this morning. Today’s discussion was on road signs. Three highlights:
- The caller who had been driving along the motorway when he saw one of the matrix signs lit up saying “this sign is not working”
- A man who suggested that, in these days of political correctness, road signs should also be written in Braille
- The story of the Japanese tourists who were parked up on the hard shoulder repeatedly running across the motorway: A police patrol stopped to see if they required assistance, but were surprised to learn that the tourists had seen a speed camera sign and, thinking it indicated a site of outstanding natural beauty, had stopped to have their pictures taken!
A bit of early morning madness never hurt anyone!
