Thanks to Donna Finkill of Newcastle-upon-Tyne for this gem from Australia: "This photo was taken near Cape Tribulation and shows some imaginative vandalism. The original sign was intended to warn motorists that there are speed bumps ahead to slow you down to protect the cassowaries that live in the area..."

Stephanie Walker from Nova Scotia, Canada heeded the rather threatening warning against throwing stones into boiling hot thermal springs near Rotorua, New Zealand
"This is the jetty access to the Glenfinnan House Hotel near Fort William, Scotland, taken on October 2, 2007. Is the quality of this jetty pierless?" asks James Upton of Battersea, London SW8

Theanks to Almut Kluger of Schweinsberg, Germany who saw this delightfully direct sign on the South Island of New Zealand, on the way from Dunedin to Queenstown.

A touch of humour from the beautiful Sweetwaters Private Reserve in Kenya - thanks to Jill Morgan for her very amusing safari pic

"I spotted this sign at a harbour near Boston, USA," says Pamela Pearce from Coventry. "It probably refers to boats," she says. Thanks for the explanation

Geoff Hill from Wisbech, Cambs assures us he carried on driving, when he saw this sign in the USA

"This picture was taken at the St. Mary's R.C. Primary School in Edinburgh - apparently, if one is to believe this sign, the children of Edinburgh are to remain downtrodden at all times." Many thanks to Thomas Knauer, and Edinburgh resident

Ian Robinson of Orpington, Kent spotted this helpful sign at Arisaig on the way to Isle of Eigg, Scotland, in September 2007
This sign made in Southend made Ken Moss from Gerrards Cross chortle every time he saw it - sadly they have no removed it

"This photograph was taken outside a bar near Cairns, Australia, a couple of years ago. I wonder which football team the manager supported...?!" - thanks to L Davenport of Downing College, Cambridge for this excellent image

No mistaking that warning then! Thanks to Andrew Thomas of Douglas, Isle of Man for this picture was taken at the Snake Park in Pune.
