Faites la queue, s'il vous plait...

Jez picked me up at London Stansted airport today and drove me all the way up to his home in North Yorkshire. It wasn't terribly scenic, as we were on the main north-south motorway, so mostly we saw cars and signs. Signs, however, can be considered scenic...

We passed a lot of signs suggesting that there could be traffic-backups ahead.

POSSIBLE QUEUES AHEAD, read the signs.

Ahem. We are a mature human being. We will not think of our blog. We will not giggle and titter.

POSSIBLE QUEUES AHEAD, repeated the signs.

Ahem. Renewed attempts to be mature and culturally sensitive to other ways of expressing common ideas and not giggle.

POSSIBLE QUEUES AHEAD

Hee hee hee, I thought, but did not laugh out loud. And we drove on.

QUEUES LIKELY

Shut up! Are they doing this on purpose?

QUEUES LIKELY

Thanks, G.F. This word is ruined for me for all time. Right. I'm blogging this.
