More "Signs"
The "insurance office" sign reminds of a story I read years ago in the old Irish Press, probably sometime in the '70s or '80s. It was during the height of "the troubles" and the loyalist parties up the north were protesting some government capitulation to the fenians. One of the parties was handing out bumper stickers, signs, and huge banners to all who would take them proclaiming "Ulster Says No". Some patriotic soul who owned a car park took one of the large banners to place on his business. Only after business fell off considerably did he notice that his business sign now announced that "Ulster Says No Parking".
