Nice! a classic bit of Banksy graffiti. Which has now become a photo opportunity in itself!

Good catch! I wonder if this is a joke or protest kind of thing, rather than an official sign? Either way, it's wrong, it is a photo opp.

Humour seems to be dominating this challenge so far and this is an outstanding example. If the the sign were anywhere but the UK, I would suspect digital manipulation due to the ultraconservative typeface. Very effective framing gives the viewer a double take. -tv
