Signs of Swansea
May 26, 2011 Leave a Comment
One of the enjoyable aspects of living in another country is seeing that world through non-native eyes – including the content and messages in various signs, billboards, posters and stickers. Most of them we ‘get’, some we find funny, and others still bemuse us.
Below is a tour of some of our favorites – enjoy!
- Hear, hear …
.
The reference to "whites" tickles Matthew every time.
.
Nothing like being serious.
.
Does Matthew look WAY too happy?
.
"noisy operation"
.
The mind boggles.
.
While we understand the literal "needs attention" part, it still sounds psychological.
.
"sunshine is active"?
.
Swansea pride - as graffiti. Think they got the irony?
.
The most serious-sounding brick-laying company name I've ever seen.
.
THIS is a bargain.
.
I hope it found a home.
.
Fun with juxtaposition.
.
Oh no!
.
I want the back story ...
.
Yes, we laughed.
.
Yes, they're everywhere.
.
Still don't know what "Bunnies" are (is?) - but we have an idea. In either case, they've moved.
.
- CCTV cameras and nuns – oh my!
.
Umm ...
.
At least the sex comes first ...
.
It would be funny if that were a bedroom window, right?
.
I like that it's on a construction vehicle.
.
Agreed!
.
In case you were wondering.
.
That's my hubby!
