Dr Bob Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yep, looks like it is raining. Everythings wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Was it wet before it was wet? The paint dried, then it rained (without the wet sign being removed once it was dry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machpoint005 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 The notice was probably put up originally so that some other anti-CRT moaner couldn't claim that his dress was ruined by brushing it against wet paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearley Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 At least it is black letters on a white background. On the HNC a couple of weeks ago we came across an A4 printed sign stapled to a post in the middle of the canal. It was white lettering printed on a blue background. The blue had faded making the sign unreadable from the stern as we approached. When we ran aground just before we got to the post I could just make out an arrow pointing towards the towpath and after backing off and having another, more successful attempt to pass, could then read the writing warning of a mud bank.

"Dress" is a general term that includes many different garments. If you have a shirt and trousers on, you are dressed, are you not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm being picky (which I am sometimes) the OP's photo shows one of the cardinal sins of laminating - if you're going to punch holes for cable ties, cut the paper down before you laminate. Then the holes don't get the paper interior soggy. You have no idea how many event organisers don't get this and use an inkjet for the printing.

Mac of Cygnet Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm still watching the paint dry. It's quite interesting, relatively speaking..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dreamer Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 So is that the new split bridge, that is total authentic, apart from its lack of a split, that they nearly dropped on my boat, as we passed through Lapworth a couple of weeks ago?
