eastwestdivide Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 This German-English instruction leaflet for an old multi-voltage AC-DC adapter thingy was a bit better. I liked "convince yourself" of the right voltage, as if you just needed a good argument inside your head, while "destruction of the consumer" seemed like a bit of a safety hazard. 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bernard Lamb Posted January 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2020 Reminds me of one from long ago. Some where in Eastern Europe but I do not remember where.

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted January 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2020 Why is that funny? Surely it's not suggesting there are blind pilots? If a blind person came along wouldn'y you want them to know what's the other side of the door? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted January 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2020 ...yes yes, we all worked that out, but the initial implication that there ARE (enough) blind pilots to warrant their own lounge is funny! Kev. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastglosmog Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 4 hours ago, Sidecar Racer said: But did they run it past a blind person first? As far as I can make out it actually says "pĺot lounge". The second letter is missing a dot below and to the left which would make it into an "i". As it is, it signifies an accent on the next letter (although you could interpret it as a misalligned symbol for "a") ....... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted January 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2020 Who's to say that is the Braille version that is wrong? Maybe it is a "Plot Lounge"! ...and, I don't think that there are many blind pilots about either as the sign shows no sign of ware - or maybe I am over thinking things now! (Sorry Mike...)

Who is the target audience for the final three words? Neither the blind nor the dog can read it.

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.

eastglosmog Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 A whacked sign that is totally pointless, there being room to drive a horse or cow round beside the gate, and even if you shut it as requested, the latch doesn't work and there is nothing to stop it opening again! 2 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2020 Could not 'Pilot Lounge' just be a name for the facility not intended exclusively for pilots. Perhaps there's also a Captains Lounge or a Navigators Lounge nearby? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
