Before the weather turns completely autumnal, I thought it was time to post about a sign that’s kept me amused over the summer. Posted on the gate of the building site next to an office in which I’ve been doing a fair amount of work is the following large notice:
Before the weather turns completely autumnal, I thought it was time to post about a sign that’s kept me amused over the summer. Posted on the gate of the building site next to an office in which I’ve been doing a fair amount of work is the following large notice:
No hard hat
No boots
No work
Every time I wandered past, I smiled as a mental image came to mind of construction workers in sombreros and flip-flops, lazing languidly in the sunshine.
I guess the sign-writers knew what they meant to say (presumably something along the lines of, ”If you’re not wearing safety kit, you won’t be allowed on site”). Yet somehow that’s not quite the image that they actually conveyed.
I guess proposal content can be like that: sometimes you need an impartial reader to point out the obvious errors!
