How Do YOU Read It?


In American English, we would say, "For Rent". Here, it's "To Let". But my mind always, always fills in the space with a letter "i" so that it says, "TOILET". Why, I have no clue...

I would do the same thing!!!! :)

In the last week, I have driven 2200+ miles on a trip to Maryland and back (well, almost back; I'm stopping over at my in-laws' today in Atlanta). Sofia came along. As you well know, travelling with a 3 year old means keeping an eye out for potential bathroom locations, so I noticed each and every blue food/gas/lodging sign along the way...one of them actually listed a Chinese restaurant, Dynasty Buffet, but somehow the "y" had become obscured, so it read 'D nasty Buffet'. Wonder if they'll get many takers....
