Re: The Pedant's Revolt
My favourite was a notice in the local woods.
"Do not throw stones at this notice."
Dosen't really fit the pedant's revolt but it's surreal nature appealed to me.

Given the thread, I suppose it's OK to be pedantic - you'll have to spell that out for me Mary; how does your son qualify as a child?englishangel wrote:and of course, children must also be carried, I had to piggy-back my 20 year old yesterday, there was no other way I could carry him.MKM wrote:My favourites are from escalators: "Dogs must be carried" and "Pushchairs must be folded".NEILL THE NOTORIOUS wrote:Does anyone , as myself, collect stupid notices ?
