Picky Me

There was an article in BBC recently about nonsensical English signs in China that they are trying to clean-up ahead of the Beijing Olympics. On a related note, we recently came across an extremely funny menu in a Thai restaurant

"Lunch special: Flat rice noodles in black bean sauce guarded by spring rolls" !!
"Seafood special: ..... crab married with shrimp ...."

But, how perfect are the signs in London ahead of the 2012 Olympics?

This is the actual sign at the end of each carriage in the London Underground trains

"Lower window for ventilation"

I wonder if the upper window is for suffocation! The trouble is that there is only one window. It should really read

"Lower the window for ventilation".

Maybe I am picky, but I would expect perfect English in the motherland of English!!

Now, PJ time ...

If I travel by the London underground, does it make me a tuber ?

Q. What would you call a giant potato?
