kevrail Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Here is one that is on the platform in Central Station Belfast Quote
wiggy Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Not finished Wiggy - still a ton of work to do on them. What era were you wanting (their split into categories) R. Any news on these yet. Getting to the stage where I need these type's of signs. Thanks, Wiggy. Quote
Glenderg Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Gents, Some signs to torment your plastic passengers with. This is IE only, still gathering NI ones. Many thanks to the thread contributors. These can be plastered all over buildings, or on posts in car parks. Best printed on semi-gloss photo paper. Tiny dab of pva on the back is the best way to stick them down. If anyone needs a pre-cut pack, instead of cutting it themselves, PM me. Cost €2.50. http://www.glenderg.com/drawings/Station_Signage.pdf Enjoy. Richie. Quote
RedRich Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Lovely Richie, I'll print them off at the weekend when I get some paper. Rich, Quote
Broithe Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 A new sign (of the times) at Ballybrophy. A new ticket machine, too. And an old sign... Quote
jhb171achill Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 "it's servants"???? Can nobody in IE work out the waste of ink in adding in incorrect apostrophes, as instructed by the teachers of nine year old children? Quote
Broithe Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 "it's servants"???? Can nobody in IE work out the waste of ink in adding in incorrect apostrophes, as instructed by the teachers of nine year old children? Be fair! They've used "whomsoever" twice - isn't that enough? And a "thereon". Quote
DiveController Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 "it's servants"???? Can nobody in IE work out the waste of ink in adding in incorrect apostrophes, as instructed by the teachers of nine year old children? Probably neither them or there servants seen it before it were erected, so its not really they're fault 2 Quote
Glenderg Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 What annoys me rightly is not so much the apostrophe, but the complete inability of CIE to spell their own company name properly..... 1 Quote
DiveController Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 What annoys me rightly is not so much the apostrophe, but the complete inability of CIE to spell their own company name properly..... You mean the missing séimhiú as in Córas Iompair Éireann, I presume? If they can't get the "its" right "as Bearla", consonant mutations are not likely to be their forte either 1 Quote
Broithe Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Somebody could just move the apostrophes.... 2 Quote

minister_for_hardship Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Correct punctuation went down the toilet years ago. We can't even get English 100% right, and then there's the half-assed attempts at Irish in public signage. Quote

It's hard to beat the Disabled Parking sign at Asda in Cardiff - parking is only available to disabled Scotsmen, apparently... Quote
WT CLASS 2-6-4T No. 4 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 It's hard to beat the Disabled Parking sign at Asda in Cardiff - parking is only available to disabled Scotsmen, apparently... [ATTACH=CONFIG]18745[/ATTACH] That would include the whole population then I suppose Quote
jhb171achill Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 With Scotsmen wearing kilts, how do you tell a Scottish "Gents" sign from a "Ladies" one? Maybe you have to lift the sign up to see what's underneath? 1 Quote

jhb171achill Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 So the one on the right is a woman with a handbag. Or a man with a hole through him. Quote
burnthebox Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 And I was thinking the one on the right is a MAN, & a Scotsman at that, brave one who lifts that thing up, whatever its called, on any Scotsman. Quote
Broithe Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 an old sign... Well, after the controversy that this caused, I went armed with a black felt pen and some white sticky tape, but was confronted by this... ..a new sign - and reflective, for some odd reason.. Quote
Broithe Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Some other signs have also gone reflective. ..I may have to have a 'face'lift.. This sign has been there for many years - and is getting a bit tired now.. Quote
Horsetan Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 ....brave one who lifts that thing up, whatever its called.... Sporran. 1 Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Is "Líne" the correct Irish word for "line"? Wouldn't be the first time that CIE (and its predecessor) made a mess of Irish spellings.... Send 'em back to primary school..... Quote
