"Looking for Good Drivers"

Gussio

Saw the above on the back of a London bus this morning. Made me chuckle - read a certain way it might infer that the bus company is looking to replace the existing stock of drivers, who aren't so good

My girlfriend is similarly amused by those signs that say "Danger, men at work" because she reads it as "Danger... Men at work," as if the danger only comes from the fact that males are working and there would be no danger if it were females.

maybe its like a census......how many GOOD drivers did you see on your way in this morning? Not just average, or OK drivers, but good ones.

Maybe they can't find any either!

Bit sad this but....
On long, boring rides I've started "scoring" drivers out of ten for how well I think they've overtaken me. Points for how much room they've left, what speed they were travelling, how quickly they pulled back in after and that kind of thing. The long winter rides just fly-by!
Now I've admitted that I'm going to change my identity :oops:

I particularly like the motorway signs that say "Workforce in road slow". As if we needed telling.

I always wonder about "Dumping prohibited"....Does that mean you can dump anywhere else except laybys??

Surely, by that rational, everything else is allowed, unless there is a sign up saying you can't do it...and if that's the case why aren't there signs saying "murder prohibited"? :?

Or signs for the benifit of the scrote who sprayed paint in a sploge on the front of my car, they might have seen a "Car Vandalism Allowed" sign but I'm b*ggered if I can find it. After all car vandalism isn't a crime apparently

Just a thought...and a rant

I like the signs that say "DEAD SLOW CHILDREN CROSSING".

"Free range eggs" what are these "range" eggs, and why are they giving them away?

SLOW PLANT CROSSING - I always think of the Day of theTriffids.

A ficticious one from Private Eye: During the media rant about genetically modified franken foods they had a single frame cartoon of a country road with a handwritten sign in the manner of 'pick your own potatos' that read 'Chase your own strawberries'.
