The UK is known for many things, from great music to questionable weather. But if there’s one thing it really shines at, it’s humor. Witty, dry, and as strong as the cuppas people love to make, it has a way of showing up pretty much everywhere, whether that’s with friends at the pub or even in a serious work meeting.

And sometimes, it appears in much more unlikely places too. Like signs. Yes, signs of all sorts. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the funniest ones people spotted across the country and decided to share with the internet. Enjoy!
