daily life: follow the signs

It's thirsty work being a sign.

Over the course of the last few days I've seen more and more signs that just make no sense. Signs are pretty expensive to produce so you'd think more care and attention would go into the wording of them before sending them off to print. On the positive side they make for entertaining reading when you are bored and stuck in a traffic jam.

Today, while waiting 20 minutes to get into the tip (I certainly know how to show someone a good time), I saw these entertaining signs.

'The Origin of all waste delivered in commercial vehicles and trailers will be checked' - How are they going to do that then? Does every item of waste have a unique barcode on it indicating where the waste was produced? Will they sit the waste on a chair in the middle of a dark room and shine a bright light in it's face until it confesses it's true origin?

If you weigh 3501Kg your not coming in, and I don't care who your father is. They've probably got one of those people that can guess your weight standing by the gate at all times.
