Signs can indeed be a metaphorical minefield! :shock: :wink:
Reading this made me think of a Parliamentary election quite a few years ago now that I once read about.
A Parliamentary constituency in Solihull, in the UK, was about to elect a new member of Parliament. And one of the candidates was a Mr. Grieve. So far, so good. And quite reasonably his supporters wished to urge the voters of Solihull to give him their support. Also quite understandable.
And, their idea of a poster campaign was also a good one.
However in the fullness of time many voters in Solihull were puzzled to find themselves looking at posters bearing the somewhat unreassuring message...

" GRIEVE FOR SOLIHULL " :lol:
