A Weed can be a thing of beauty.
It is amazing just how many notices find themselves onto caravan sites. They appear of all over the place I suppose because of the need to keep themselves covered in this day and age of litigation. Then there is the whole issue of health and safety.
I the UK it is simple because I can read the signs and know just what is being said. I still find myself laughing and some of them. For example a yellow one that appears all over the place reads. " Steep bank deep water." Yes, but often the steep is no more than the height of a pavement kerb and the water not even deep enough to come over your shoe.
So I have fun here in France reading the notices and hoping I have them all correct. Some notices I have seen in places have not been very well thought through. For example, "Please only flush paper down the toilet." Now, I mean what do I do with the rest?
Here are one or two others that I hope will bring a smile to your day.
