I remember the signs on trains saying PLEASE MIND YOUR HEAD getting changed to FLEAS IN YOUR HEAD, Whilst looking for a photo of one I found this.

Those of us with a certain number of years under our belts may recall that there were often signs in certain places inviting us to "Please adjust your dress before leaving" to which was usually added a comment about this being the gents not the ladies or that the scrawler wore trousers not dresses. In Scotland however they may have had a valid point ..... 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted December 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 23, 2019 Back in the 1990's, Mortimer station (between Basingstoke and Reading) usually proclaimed on its name boards that it was 'No Time'. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote Kinbrace on the Far North line had its lettering rearranged to Bareckin for a time. With the local population numbering a just few tens someone may have had one too many Fire Waters. It’s hard to believe a visitor went all that way just for that. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, isn't the usual clue that something is Photoshopped a lack of perspective on the text and font size(s)? Granted this still might have been Photoshopped, but by someone with more skill than usual? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of a Casio calculator I bought back in the 80's. The instructions were written in a Japanese version of English that I labeled 'Japlish'. It was barely understandable.
