Once again, I'm joining in with Deb's feature and the topic this week is signs. Boy have I got some signs to show you!!!
Some brought a smile to my face when I saw them and I just had to photographed them....
This first photo was taken in inner city Melbourne...
The next 4 photos were taken on Norfolk Island at one of the tourist attraction's carpark :-)
The next sign was on the back of a public toilet door in Warwick (QLD) ....
Some signs bring out the teacher in me and I want to get a 'red pen' and correct or even a post it note with a correction would do lol...like this one at our local post office...Mind you I suppose that 'accepted' could be okay but I favour 'excepted'. We've all seen signs which misuse apostrophes too haven't we???
Like the 4 photos taken on Norfolk Island, I have other photos of signs which cause memories to come flooding back of previous holiday travels...
And some signs are a bit cringeworthy too!

| 3 years ago DH and I went to Melbourne with some friends to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary...we had tickets for Jersey Boys. |
 |
| In 2010, DH had work commitments in Canberra but we had time to travel to the 'High Country'... |
 |
| Last year we had a driving holiday in US and signs plus our GPS were our lifelines :-) |
 |
| Long Beach CA |
 |
| I wondered whether this could be a relative! |
 |
| Also in California; I sat in the car while DH went to the pro shop to buy some 'golf stuff' |
 |
| This sign was in a memorial/tribute park in San Diego |
 |
| Luckily we didn't see any of these at the Reserve in CA |
 |
| You've been warned :-) |
 |
| Housing of the very poor in Mexico... |
 |
| You can still recognise that it's a stop sign (In Mexico) |
 |
| Also in Mexico; a huge billboard ad for a doctor |
 |
| This sign shows the border of USA and Mexico. We had to wait in line for 45 minutes to get out of Mexico; my worst nightmare would have been to be detained there! lol |
 |
| That iconic sign in Piccadilly Circus |
 |
| An election sign in London...a bit peculiar? |
 |
| Singapore had most signs in English :-) |
 |
| This one made me smile too! |
 |
| I've included this photo of me walking along the beachfront at Sandgate...The signs on the shop include some brands which no longer exist |
 |
| Melbourne CBD shop |

What a great selection, Maria. Love the Norfolk Island one.
What a wonderfully varied array of signs you've photographed! The old Peter's Ice Cream sign brings back some childhood memories..we had masses of Tip Top Icecream signs in NZ too.
I agree with Deb. It's a great selection Maria. I'm off to Norfolk Island in February. I have to find that car park.
