A little sign shop

January 8th, 2009

At the beginning of the market area of Portobello Road, there is a popular little shop selling various kinds of signs. Do click on the picture to enlarge.

And here is one particularly fun sign stand. I live by several of these, as it happens. And it’s always nice to know where the nearest toilet is.

    I like the “I believe I’ll have another beer” sign.

    Believe it not, Brother, my first thought upon reading this sign was about you :)

    I have been to that shop! There are so many signs to read and have a laugh at. I bought a Coca Cola sign for a friend who collects them.

    As for random picture taking, I’m not sure if you have put up a picture of one of my favourite signs that most the parks im London have. “Dog Toilet” which is usually a sandbox…as IF my dog would go in one of those. Still, I find it amusing.

    Haven’t truly been to a park since I started taking random pictures, Cheryl. And then, I am not a dog person, I will probably not be near where the dogs might be. But I’ll look for that one given a chance.

    I would visit London just to see that shop in person. Those are the kinds of shops that I love best – small shops in places other than a mall selling things that are not the run-of-the-mill.

    You hit on one of the reasons why we love Europe so much, Vince.
