However I have come to appreciate the very often most sophisticated way in which information is often conveyed, this blog is a tribute to this.</description><title>Great British Signs</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @britishsigns)</generator><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Unfortunately this sign is a bit blurry, but it actually...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzca3hSy6U1r9lltxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately this sign is a bit blurry, but it actually encourage drunk people to eat fast-food, only in Britain…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sign from the London Tube&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/17554142080</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/17554142080</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:06:00 +0000</pubDate><category>Sign</category><category>Fast-food</category></item><item><title>This sign is probably more of the category: “is this sign...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyb1toMaE41r9lltxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This sign is probably more of the category: “is this sign really necessary?” Its from my student accommodation in first year. One morning it just was there, my logic conclusion from the sudden appearance of this sign, the reason must be that someone actually did not think that the hob stayed hot after it was turned off and actually seriously burned themselves. If people going to uni is the future, this is making my slightly concern…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/16406035947</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/16406035947</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:37:02 +0000</pubDate><category>Sign</category><category>Warning</category><category>Hob</category></item><item><title>Quite a while since the predecessor was posted, but this is the...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly2k3pUNmv1r9lltxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quite a while since the predecessor was posted, but this is the sign that replaced the old, though slightly different, it communicate the message ever so slightly better, which is that handicapped should not use the top floor of the parking house. So sorry the last sign had notting to do with ambulances. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also I forgot to say with the previous sign this is also a great example of a particular Welsh sophistication of bilingualism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sign from Bronglais General Hospital, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/16139104054</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/16139104054</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:33:00 +0000</pubDate><category>Sign</category></item><item><title>This sign must be the pinnacle of sophistication when it comes...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxnjvacnTo1r9lltxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This sign must be the pinnacle of sophistication when it comes to British sign writing, as this sign has such advanced writing that not even the British themselves where able to understand it. So what did it mean? Well that up to you to decide. However they did replace the sign after a few months, going to upload that later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sign from Bronglais General Hospital, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15684278423</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15684278423</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:04:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I have for a long time wished to go to Egypt to see the great pyramids. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15640733911</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15640733911</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:36:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Similar to yesterday, where a short warning would suffice, there...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxjibiwZaR1r9lltxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Similar to yesterday, where a short warning would suffice, there is a small essay. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sign is from St. Mary’s Church, Rye, East Sussex. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15570132084</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15570132084</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:40:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>This is a good example of how British people have a tendency to...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxhq50NpJT1r9lltxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a good example of how British people have a tendency to use a long winded way of making a warning, when others would have found it more that enough to say: “be careful”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sign is from Conwy Castle in North Wales. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15515914728</link><guid>http://britishsigns.tumblr.com/post/15515914728</guid><pubDate>Sun, 08 Jan 2012 17:34:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
