I just made this silly but accurate thing. I'm silly too and i love it, but also i'm serious in my silliness.
@danielgibert I love it. But I believe in this case it's not 'european', it's 'literally every country except that single stupid one we don't talk about'
@realsimon @danielgibert … Australia?
(these are barely recognisable to me, and even then, only the right-hand ones)
@buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert fond memories of trundling along the Bass Highway and spotting a sign which said, in all caps, something like
"LANE MARKINGS REMOVED DO NOT OVERTAKE UNLESS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO"
which was to me a breathtaking statement of the bloody obvious, and completely oblivious to the average driver's reading comprehension while travelling at highway speed
@jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert my favorite old Aus road signs were the ones saying "Loose Stones Travel Slowly", which would make a good meaningless proverb
@tslumley @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert wow, that's a Poetry!
@tslumley @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert Reminds me of the British road signs like SLOW CHILDREN and HEAVY PLANT CROSSING
@baz @tslumley @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert SLOW MEN WORKING AHEAD
@edgeofeurope @baz @tslumley @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert Maybe hire fast men the next time
@baz @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert I love HEAVY PLANT CROSSING
@baz @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert and someone needs to mention the Ogden Nash poem based on the US signs like
Soft
C A U T I O N
Shoulders
and
Cross
C H I L D R E N
Walk
@tslumley @jackeric @buzzyrobin @realsimon @danielgibert like "Motorcycles Use Caution"
