It must be my advanced age - I am genuinely finding it hard to work out what some signs and labels mean these days. Look at this oneLiz sent a picture of her tissue packet. "A blanket for your nose" I have had three years of pandemic-related-mask-wearing, feeling that my nose is trapped under a blanket. Is that really a selling point for tissues?Lactose-free goods, gluten-free, meat-free goods are fine, but why morning-free? Is it a misprint for mourning-free? 
After all, Peter Robinson had a store in Oxford Street in the 1840s called the 'Family and General Mourning Warehouse', which sold nothing but black armbands, black plumes for horses, veils etc - this is the exact opposite. Or maybe it is for people who hate getting up early?Nebulous means 'hazy' either [scientific] 'in the form of a cloud' or [conceptual] 'ill-defined'. If you spent £15 on these hazy products, you will get a free gift and a free bag! I checked out this product. It is, apparently, a "Kid's lifestyle brand" introducing girls to "the calming practice of meditation, whilst encouraging creativity and self-esteem." [also involves lots of single use pink plastic and mysterious 'calming putty'] No, Rosie, Grandma will not be buying this stuff! We saw this van in the Garden Centre Car Park. Bob was quite taken with the concept of a "used Grandfather". Here he is in this role, lifting Jess up for me to take a picture in the National Trust Easter frame

Ah, but the signs caught your eye, didn't they? That's what they were meant to do and they worked! Bob looks very happy posing with his granddaughters. :)
ReplyDeleteThey love him to hits - Jess has added "Grandad to her vocabulary. She's learning new words daily
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of Grandad with two of his grandchildren. I find lots of signs confusing and unfortunately the use of misplaced apostrophes on signs is guaranteed to sent me off on a rant! Catriona
ReplyDeleteMisplaced apostrophes make me rant too
DeleteLooks like you had a happy Easter with family.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast goods for people with allergies???
ReplyDeleteSwift Microwave treatment for your verruca. Worked for me after 6 years of alternative treatments
ReplyDeleteThis was a useful tip Christine - reposting in case anyone missed it!
DeleteThese daft signs are getting more prolific aren't they? As for the landfill masquerading as stuff to introduce children to meditation - it beggars belief! Hope you've been having a lovely Easter x
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
We had a wonderful Easter, hope you did too
DeleteIt bothers me that children are being introduced to weird meditation stuff. Their little minds need that like a hole in the head IMHO. I'm also concerned when I see games that are based on things like astrology (rather than astronomy which might be worthwhile!)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Bob and the little ones.
I share your reservations
ReplyDeleteI've heard the term Morning Goods. It's food- supply speak for fresh bread, bagels etc. Veg Artist
