RMweb Premium melmerby Posted June 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 22, 2017 Besides moving into the pub trade, is the "urban decay" branding somehow meant to be ironical? Actually neon signs are become something of a rarity these days, everything seems to be based around LEDs. A shame really, there was quite an art bending the glass tubes to make colourful signage. I think Selfridges are using it as a sort of "Retro" feel sale sign, but It looks like it's on it's last legs! Keith 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 4, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) To me that is correct If you take the logo at the top as part of the message, it then reads "sisk rail apologise......" Edited July 4, 2017 by big jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted July 4, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2017 To me that is correct If you take the logo at the top as part of the message, it then reads "sisk rail apologise......"

Maybe it's facing the wrong way round and it's an instruction to construction workers, like the ones you sometimes see behind the till in supermarkets telling the checkout operators to smile at customers and make polite conversation.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2017 Not really wacky in itself, but it reminded me of the signs that it has clearly been derived from, 'baby on board'. What are you supposed to do differently because the car in front has that sign in its back window? Beware that the driver may well be distracted by the little darling/perisher (you choose) making too much noise, climbing out of its harness, throwing up??? Could the driver be so exasperated that he/she throws the little a/a out of the window? Are they going to pull up suddenly for a wee break? Is the driver so tired from sleepless nights that they will fall asleep at the wheel? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
