    Someone on the Sydney train system tried a bit of truthful signage. Aparently it only took them 2 weeks to find and remove it.
    If I do not clearly express what I mean, it is either for the reason that having no conversational powers, I cannot express what I mean, or that having no meaning, I do not mean what I fail to express. Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case.

    There used to be (still is?) a sign on the Sydney trains that said :

    "At night, travel near the guard's compatrment marked with a blue light"

    Sometimes you'd find this altered to:

    "At night, rave near the guard's compartment naked with a blue light" :eek:

    When I saw the title of this thread I thought it would be a discussion about why people do not say what they mean anymore because they feel they have to dance around peoples sensibilitys being as PC as possible.....quoting another member of this board.."What a load of bollocks"

    HH.

    Let me just add I'm a big supporter of being polite and having respect but please please if you have something to say just spit it out!!
    Always look on the bright side...

    There's the road in Berwick, Vic called "Ernst Wanke" which doesn't need much re-arranging of letters to promote a giggle. It's one of the roads joining the South-Eastern on the Hallam bypass so is broadcast in huge letters.
