Morrison's offers this advice to shoppers at its Margate branch:
I intend to accept no responsibility for any of the above, even if I cause the damage myself. Thanks, Morrison's!
(We can talk about why it's 'on' this car park rather than 'in' another time.)
I have the same reaction whenever I see the signs in Eldon Square 'Bus Station, configured like this:
ReplyDeletePASSENGERS
DO NOT WALK
ON ROAD
The intended reading is of course the one you facetiously adduce for the Morrisons sign - but I always think, 'Well, actually, they do. I do, for one, when I'm late for a 'bus and need to run across the no-walking bit.'.
I always used to think that too :)
