In all honesty the one on the van looks like a VistaPrint.co.uk jobbie (i.e. on person designs + sends it off to be printed) and it's batched produced so the printer wouldn't really check it thoroughly

Spotted in a toilet of a London office:
TOILET OUT OF ORDER. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW. In a London Laundromat: AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES: PLEASE REMOVE ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT Outside a London second-hand shop: WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN? Spotted in a safari park: ELEPHANTS PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR Seen during a London conference: FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN’T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE 1ST FLOOR Notice in a field: THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES On a repair shop door: WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING (PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON THE DOOR, THE BELL DOESN’T WORK) People in other countries sometimes go out of their way to communicate with their English-speaking tourists. Here is a list of signs seen around the world : At a Budapest zoo: PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUITABLE FOOD, GIVE IT TO THE GUARD ON DUTY. Doctors clinic, Rome : SPECIALIST IN WOMEN AND OTHER DISEASES. Hotel, Acapulco : THE MANAGER HAS PERSONALLY PASSED ALL THE WATER SERVED HERE. In a Nairobi restaurant: CUSTOMERS WHO FIND OUR WAITRESSES RUDE SHOULD WAIT AND SEE THE MANAGER. In a City restaurant: OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, AND WEEKENDS TOO. In a Calcutta Coffee House: PEOPLE DISCARDING CIGARETTE STUBS IN CUPS WILL BE SERVED COFFEE IN ASH TRAYS BB x |

I have a picture of a sign somewhere in deepest darkest Tennessee that says: "SLOW CHILDREN CROSSING!"
Punctuation is overrated it seems. |

At work in the Bogs we have a sign saying "Don't put chewing gum in the Urinals, Thank You"
nowt funny about that but every time I use the loo I turn it upside down or put it in a different place, Every time I come back in it is round the right way & back in it's place. This Dude that started a few weeks ago that knows me through a Doris I was with (He was the little brothers best mate) Anyway he comes up to me & says' That's You moving that sign ain't it. + It's the Little things. |

I always look forward to 'Hidden Dips' and scan the horizon to see if I can spot them. Then it's always a barely noticeable hump in the road. Disappointment.
Also 'Falling Rocks'. Like Jimmy Carr said, what are you supposed to do with that information?
