The Four Ages Of Sand

It's all in the marketing

The Car Wash attached to our local Tesco needed a real punchy advert to pull in the punters. Here's what the marketing boys came up with.

That's why they get the big bucks!

Leicester impressions

I went to Leicester once, and this wasn't my experience at all.

Krebs Cycle Crimes

This from Tom.

"Your (and my!) kind of humor:" 

I must confess I had to look up the Krebs Cycle.

This is a simple version of it, apparently. I'm none the wiser!

Look after yourself or we'll put you in prison

Blimey; Nanny State or what??

From Alan R:

 Hi Iain,

What would we do without the authorities? After all, we all need looking after, particularly when we are in that most dangerous zone, the great outside. So, when I was walking along the towpath of the Grand Union Canal at Cassiobury Park in Watford, it was comforting to know that the authorities were monitoring my every move. On one of the bridges British Waterways had erected a sign warning of the dangers of contracting waterborne diseases and I was particularly impressed to see that the offenders were liable to prosecution. Excellent!!

I can't wait see the case of The Crown v Weil's Disease at the Old Bailey.
 
As Stuart (Son of Alan R) says:

That’s obviously why the Water Voles are disappearing - they're all in jail!

It's all in the advertising

If I had a fungal infection or lice, I would DEFINITELY go to these people.

I've been taking photos in pub toilets again

As I've said before, it's a high risk business, hence my expression reflected in the mirror:

 

Does this count as self-referential?

This just in from Tom. There must be other creative possibilities to extend the concept!

CFM: A No Brainer

I'm always amazed to find professionally produced material with punctuation, grammar or spelling mistakes in them. I mean, these things cost thousands. Tens of thousands even. Doesn't anyone check them for goodness sake?

I saw this in the toilets at the NEC Antiques Fair the other day, and luckily I had my camera with me.  As I've mentioned before, photography in public toilets is a delicate art. The sound of the shutter firing gets quite a reaction, I can tell you.   

"Purely member driven" maybe, but "puctuation driven" certainly not.

How many countries?

No Risk, No outlay, No Apostrophe.

How long is 30 minutes?

This from Tom.

Not sure if I want this pharmacist filling my medical prescriptions!

I had them take down the sign and hold it up closer to me so I can get the image. They insisted on covering the company logo on the bottom of the sign for obvious reasons!

T.

I'm very impressed he took the photo so openly. I always feel I'm doing something dodgy when I do it 

 

Bear Warning

Funny! 

Hi Iain
 
This is a sign in Fort Steele, Cranbrook BC in Canada.
