    are apples vegetarian then?

    Bought a bag of Morrisons apples y'day, and the label said "suitable for vegetarians"

    The Label Police have gone mad - we now have to have a "no smoking" sign on the front door of our primary school


    and our Post Office has a sign that says "if you need assistance, please ask a member of staff". For the people who can't work that out for themselves?

    I love the labels which show things like a basic picture of an apple, with the legend 'Serving Suggestion' underneath. We also have just had speed bumps put on our road and a sign right beside 'ours' which says HUMP. (this sign has also been placed in such a way as to prevent us getting our trailer out, you just know the battles with the council we're going to have about that)
    Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

        Not only do you have to have a sign on every building where the public are able to go or where business is performed but it has to be the prescraibe sigh....not any sign there is a master. Oh a and Company cars and vans have to have them.

          I ran out of coriander [yes, I know it's the devil's doo dahs, but I love it], and popped into co-op to get a little pot [of coriander].

          Yes, it had a best before date; it was in soil and is growing nicely several weeks later.

          Best before; unbelievable.

          No smoking signs in cars really get me; the thing is, if you didn't want a cigarette, then that's just a great reminder that you want one.

          i could go on and on, but will stop now before I rant.

            I love the paper coffee cups with ~ Caution contents may be hot. Enough said.
            There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

                  Its all to do with Americans....

                  They are like children and if you don't tell them exatly what to do they sue...now this is coming over here.

                  Lookin the rear view mirrors of some cars and it has CAUTION Images may appear closer than they are....this was put on because a yank looked in his mirror and pulled out and rammed a van and sued Ford.

                  The caoution hot liquid is because an american sued MC D cos she burned herself on their coffee....fair well she had cup between her legs and was trying to take the top off to add the sugar...as she was driving.

                    Great thread, it is crazy what labels exist. One of my favourites was on a bag of peanuts that said may contain nuts.

                    Just realised that it's not true as peanuts are not nuts!

                    One of my other favourites is some medicine for children that said do not take when operating heavy machinery. Do children operate machinery?

                          Just been looking on the Gardenersworld site about dead heading lillies.
                          It says I will need:

                          Secateurs
                          Lily plants

                          Even gardening forums are not exempt!

                            I like it when you buy a pack of peanuts in the pub for example and the packet will say "WARNING: Contains Nuts". Same goes with boxes of eggs in that is says "WARNING: Contains Egg".
