The pleasures of pub signs
Being a keen reader – I read the back of the cereal packet at breakfast if nothing else is to hand – then it follows (like many writers) that when I’m out and about I can’t help but notice stuff – on signs in particular.
Bad grammar and punctuation winds me up but I do love funny signs – in the area where I live, there are some at the moment which I find hilarious every time I walk in past certain hostelries near our home.
I thought I’d share them with you…
At 11.01am there is NO free toastie with your pint, you’ve missed out
No ‘divvies’. Good to know
Broken, my collection of short stories is available to download on Amazon for Kindle here
I like looking at signs too, now I’m probably going to start noticing all of the grammar problems
Thanks for your comment, Jennifer. I always feel like correcting the errors I see on signs…
Best one I ever saw was inside a pub in Widnes many moons ago. I was playing in a band and we had done some dives before , but this one had a sign in the ‘Lounge’ that read ‘Strictly No Drugs To Be Used Or Sold In here Please Use The Bar’. Ended up being a great night.
Tony, that’s sheer and utter class! Love it
