A few years back, on a main route to the M25, there was a cardboard notice displayed by the traffic lights, with an arrow saying
CAFE - OPEN
10 METERS

My brain used to go into a tizz each time I stopped at those lights

A notice is displayed in our Charity Shop, here goes,

Anyone caught shoplifting will be bard and reported to the police.

Always makes me smile.
