This garden gate sign is just up the road from where we live, and is one of my favourites. It makes me smile every time I drive past.
Of course, as everyone knows, riff raff are not allowed in Sussex/Brighton, but some do occasionally break through. The riff raff police can't be everywhere at all times.
In recent times we've had a memorial desecrator, a serial cat killer, a dodgy councillor, and of course we still have plenty of 'squiggle merchants'.
Our lovely council don't spend money on things that are important to us residents who pay their wages; only on roadside weed cultivation, establishing more Dungaree shops, and spreading the word of Veganism. Those, and finding more ways to attack motorists, are the only subjects discussed at the Town Hall.
I'm not 100% sure but I think they also have a dedicated team of Pothole diggers who work throughout the night. It is amazing how many new ones appear every week.
We've had some riff raff councilors in recent times, of all political persuasions and I quite expect there are more to root-out.
Riff raff indeed. The very idea!
ReplyDelete(Clutches pearls in horror)
That's why we need the signs on our back gates!
DeleteRiff Raff, what a polite way description.
ReplyDeleteRiff raff in Brighton, indeed. What a thought.
Hardly bears thinking about!
DeleteTo assist Brighton & Hove City Council in the promotion of veganism, I recommend this website:- https://www.bosh.tv/
ReplyDeleteThey don't need any help, they already give away packs of Tofu and Lentils.
DeleteNo Riff Raff? How will they do the Time Warp? :D
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, we have plenty of riff raff. We can't get rid of them.
DeleteShame about the riff raff, they are few and far between here. Either that or I can't recognise anything but extreme Raffery.
ReplyDeleteDon't knock vegans, when the shops get short of stuff there will always be shelves full of vegan stuff.
I'm a vegan. I'm a proxy vegan, I let sheep and cattle eat the vegetation then I eat them. It seems a sensible compromise.
I'm not 100% anti-vegans. We do eat Veggie/Vegan at least once a week; often twice. However, vegan food is always better with a bit of meat.
DeleteHaha ..... great sign ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteWe should all strive to do our best at what we are suited to.
DeleteI want one; all I have is 'Beware of the Dog'.
DeleteGreat sign!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a sign like this before.
"Private Property" signs are common here.
I prefer this one!
DeleteCro, a serial cat killer?? and as for signs, our gate has a "Smile! You're on camera! " sign.
ReplyDeleteYes we had a 'nutter' who was going around killing cats; and all around where we live too. Luckily he was caught, and is now in prison (I think). He killed about 20.
