I took this while I was in London on a stopover on the way back from Russia. The missionaries I was with took us all on a walk to the nearest bus stop, and we went through the most beautiful and quaint suburb like area. Houses with thatched rooves and white walls, beautiful gardens. The only thing that detracted from the old-timey feel was the occasional satelite dish on the wall. But while we were about, I saw this sign and I had to take a picture. Being born and raised American, I had never seen a sign that was phrased so tactfully and intelligently. That is something I like about the British. God bless y'all. From the bottom of my Yankee heart!

Fun shot!

Unfortunately, the sign is too high for the dogs to read.

I agree with Anastasia..this is definitely a fun shot..

I've also never seen something put so politely on a sign; in comparison, American signs and warnings and whatnot are harsh and demanding. It's always "Blah blah is a FELONY" or "You will be punished" and all that...it's nice to see this for a change.

Listen to me ramble. I meant to say, Nice photo. :)

In Australia we have similar signs, in Sydney the coloquial term is 'Landmines'. Good photo!
