Floating a few more ideas By Steve Way

 Hi all, Suddenly it's my day to post again and I've been up to my eyeballs this month, so I hope you don't mind, I thought I'd share a few more daft signs I've thought up since last time, plus a comment inspired by a statement regarding sunken ships...

Welcome to

DERRY

Sorry, there’s been a misunderstanding. Yes, you can get milk here but much more besides.

Welcome to

LONDONDERRY

Where we like to keep a record of events about what’s happening in London.

Welcome to

BELFAST

So, we can’t ring it unfortunately.

Welcome to

The Isle of Mull

Where we like to think things over carefully.

Welcome to

BOLTON

Though we don’t know why we’re running… and what from…

Welcome to

STOCKPORT

It’s a delicious rich, fruity drink, which why we recommend keeping plenty of it.

Welcome to

GLOUCESTER

We suggest not coming here when it’s raining, particularly if you are in the medical profession.

Welcome to

ST IVES

A town in which many people share the same surname and where cats are mollycoddled.

Welcome to

The Mull of Kintyre

Where we also like to spend our time thinking things over, though it can be fatiguing for your family.

You are now leaving

MIDDLESBROUGH

Why not visit FIRSTBORNBROUGH or Always-been-the-baby-of-the-family-even-though-he’s-in-his-40s-now-brough?

 

PAR IS

The goal of most amateur golfers.

Welcome to

Feel free to wander through our city.

S PAIN

The extraordinary allergy to the letter S.

 

I TALY

You call out the numbers.

 

CORN WALL

A surprisingly good building material.

 

PO LAND

Jokes about bears we can live with, but toilet jokes not appreciated.

 

FIN LAND

Though we’re wider than you’d think…

 

CANA DA

Not at that price anyway.

But if you make me a better offer?

 

HO LLAND

Pst… Forget Lapland… Father Christmas comes from here really…

 

BRAZ IL

Who would have thought an item of clothing could become unwell?

See our

Non-sunk submarines

Famous for being able to ‘float’ near the bottom of the sea…

'It started like this. A Mrs Jones lived next door to Mrs Jones.'
A study of the absurdity of runaway consumerism. Mrs G Jones continuously competes to outdo her neighbour Mrs J Jones. Firstly it's furniture, clothing, then it's exotic pets, cars, extensions, holidays, cosmetic surgery... meanwhile their children are forgotten and run wild and their husbands work 24 hours a day to pay the bills... finally Mrs GJ actually commissions a white elephant while Mrs JJ builds an ivory tower*. Not surprisingly it ends in disaster.
*Actually made out of marble, so it's not all bad.
