Enjoy responsibly (and other daft sayings)
Just having a chuckle at the 'beer' I found left on the train after I took it into the depot. Found 4 bottles of Becks blue left unopened on a table. After realising (much to my great sadness) that they are alcohol free. I did have a laugh at the 'Becks blue alcohol free - please enjoy responsibly' message on the box. Has anyone on the forum managed to be irresponsible and get hammered on alcohol free lager?
Got to rate highly with some of the other things I've seen such as a service station sign 'children eat free - 50p extra' and My favourite when approaching a well known place 'Silverstone - please drive slowly!'
Anyone else got any favourites?

Sussed out irresponsible (leading to bankruptcy) I would need to drink 104 bottles of becks at 0.05% at a total cost of £59.80 to match 1 pint of my barrelled beer which is 5.2% - a rather sobering thought

heh heh excellent. Maybe 'drink responsibly' means leaving them behind when you leave and not bothering?
Not a sign (as such) but where I live there is a shop called 'Smokers Paradise' right next door to the 'Cancer Research' shop
:o) I have a photo of it somewhere, I'll try to hook it out

Stuck in traffic on the M25, I was behind a mechanics van, which had the message "Specialist in all makes of vehicle" written on the back doors. Surely that just makes him a mechanic rather than a specialist mechanic?

Yeah, I'll only buy my meat from a butcher's with the word 'Quality' on the sign e.g. 'Johnsons QUALITY Butchers'.
I tend to steer clear of e.g. 'Jacksons MEDIOCRE Meats', 'Pollocks P*ss Poor Produce'.
I saw a sign in a tiny coastal town once. The sign said 'Please do not steal this lifebuoy'. There was an empty hook beside the sign.
Tha hall I play indoor soccer in has signs all round the walls saying 'Please do not spit on the walls' !!!! Why not say 'Please do not nail dead rodents to the walls'? It's about as useful.

I was in a hotel in Spain a few years ago and in the lift, I sh!t you not, the maker's name plate on the pannel was "Schindler's".

I also saw some economy toilet roll in our local supermarket over here (Shoprite) and the brand name was Regina, with the maker's slogan underneath reading, "Makes an impression." I have the picture on my phone but I've lost my lead thingy AND my little card adaptor when I moved house. Needless to say I had to try it to see if it did any impressions of MY regina..... !

Got this when I went to Morrisons in Totton, not really on the same lines but at least we know what he is doing now!
Oh and while in spain I saw this, looked like a nice hotel but judging by the name was probably at the "bottom" end of the market. heh heh.
