Sheffield Council notice appears on failblog!

[Heyesey 11]

Yes, that's rather the point. Whoever's responsible for these prank notices puts council heading on them to try and fool gullible people.

Yes. It was a real sign .... but nothing to do with the council.

 

Oh.

I am an idiot.

Probably a Health & safety notice, they put them up if a leaf falls to the ground nowadays, what a frixxxn world we live in nowadays. You can walk around freely smoking dope, swear in public, carry knives be drunk and disorderly and don't get any hassle, but .... if you sit on a bench and slip, it's the high jump for someone!!! It's a Mad, Mad World.

Saw that printed in quite a few (computer, usually) manuals a few years ago.....

I think we can all have a good laugh about this - but yes, it was a well-executed practical joke.

 

That said, it did have the Council leader fooled for a while...

That's because of the way the bindings were done. Unless the manual had exactly the right number of pages, you would end up with a few blank pages at the end. Then some people would enquire whether they had missed some stuff off. To prevent that, they used to put that message. Nowadays they put a heading "Notes", which achieves exactly the same result, but prevents the "stupid statement" jokes.

I bow to your greater knowledge, squire!

Still amusing, though....
