Footpath Definitely Closed

This is outside a London Mainline Station.  As if the words "Footpath Closed" plus the graphic were not enough, that is also re-worded presented as "Do Not Processed Beyond this point".  Plus some barriers for good measure.  That makes it four good clues.  But being London, someone will be tempted to shimmy along the kerb.....

Burger Sauce... Great with....

....burgers of course.... according the the label....A fantastic statement of the obvious.  It's that marketing need to always include a "serving suggestion" to help sell the experience rather than the product....and that's policy forever no matter what...

Oi! Fibre broadband is here!

Painting this local telcoms box green must have been to help make it more subtle and blend into the local environment. An then someone slicks a very unsubtle rainbow effect on, which rather defeats the whole point.

No Entry - Well Maybe

A bold no-entry sign on some doors to a hospital corridor - it's actually the one that leads from the main hospital reception through to Accident and Emergency.

Looks clear enough - and on both of the double doors too.

But then there's the message...

It's about using the doors only at certain times....Not between midnight and 7am, unless directed to do so.....

So this sign applies at night time only, and for some people only.

And then there's some handwritten additions.....it would appear not to apply to patients but visitors are ok.

So this all gets a bit complex for sure...

So this sign is not applicable for daytime, so it's the timing messages that should really take precedence over the no entry message.

The upshot is...

...Visitors are ok to pass through any time of day or night

... Patients can go though during the day, but not at night unless directed.

...In short...it's no entry to undirected patients at night.





There's a question about relevance here.  This sign is directed at a small number of people, compared to those who see it and rule it out as not being applicable to them...which is at least all daytime patients and visitors.....

Automatic Door - Push to Open

Wonderful contradictory messages from the local hospital.

As you approach the door you helpfully see the "Automatic" door message facing you as you approach the door.  It's all glass, no handles, and a reassuring sensor at the top.  No problems....

Ah, then there's the button to the side to open the automatic door.....
