Too fragile to touch

In National Trust and English Heritage properties, it's usual to see quite polite notices to dissuade some activities.   Even simply suggestive rather than specific signage....so for example the bunched lavender sprigs place on antique chairs to discourage sitting down.  Then there were these "Too fragile to touch" signs.  The polite way to discourage handling, and with a clear purpose too.

Now this next "Too fragile to touch" notice seems to have been touched so much, that it might also have become too fragile to touch itself....And as if that was not itself curious, it even looks in worse condition than that to which it relates....

Please be Seated

Why use one sign when 10 will do.

Here's a waiting area at the local hospital, specifically the waiting area for Assessment in the Accident and Emergency Department.

"Assessment Waiting Area.  Please take a seat further back in the waiting room once you have seen the assessment nurse"

A nicely defined area here where a couple of wall signs might have done the job.  However here every seat gets it's very on sign.

What's curious is that when all the seats are occupied none of the signs can be seen of course....

Beware the.....

Caution....Barber Ware? 

Maybe we need a Caution Stinging Nettles Sign as you approach to read the obscured Caution Barbed Wire Sign.

Office - Caution Compressed Air

Here a couple of neighbouring signs on a door in the local hospital.

"Office"
"Caution Compressed Air"

It's the neighbouring nature of these signs which do rather hint at an association....
