Sign Retrospective

Here is the first instalment of the sign retrospective. We have 36GB of photos, so it might take two to three years to sort through them all.

This is a simple, but honest and proud watch vendor at Ephesus. Note the "Genuine Fake Watches", not cheap rip offs of rip offs as his competition would have you believe.

This is how you say "Digestive Crisis" in Turkish.

How the UN weapons inspectors failed to find WMD facilities is beyond us. This was in a MOSLEM country after all, so they MUST be up to no good. This was at Pamukkale and was swarming with German tourists.

Happy gurney. Is there any other kind? An unexpected bonus in this photo was the "Moon" brand toilet tissue.

We have run this one before but just love the idea of "stuffed aborigines". They ended up being a little bit acidic, unfortunately.

In rural India, DO NOT feel each other up, on pain of incarceration or worse.


This was another highlight. The poor cafe owner was really up against it. Without a fridge, crockery or any sort of culinary training, it was always going to be a struggle serving his "deficacies", particularly when he stole the menu from a large hotel restaurant up the road.

A highlight in Washington DC. A crazy old second hand book dealer had had enough of inane chatter, and apparently physcially removed people from the shop for transgressions.

And this was just sensational. It was taken right out the front of the largest and holiest mosque in Damascus. Young tackers have all the fun.
