An odd question....
Where I work we have cupboards with sliding doors. Some of my colleagues have a habit of not putting things away properly which causes the doors to get stuck.
Is it possibly to get LU style 'Do not obstruct the doors' stickers anywhere?
TIA
Simon

Why not take a picture, print them out, laminate and apply. There's several to choose from/take pics of. Personally I'd use the "Risk Of Death" notice for not closing the cupboard door. That'll make 'em think twice about leaving it open! Here's a typical punter who doesn't read the door stickers............. www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/server.php?show=ConMediaFile.2472 |

Door Interlocks and pilot lights.
Sometimes you think they've taken the fun of retribution away from the T/op....

I know on the London transport museum's depot open day, theres people selling all sorts of LUL/LT stuff and there was indeed one place that had loads of those stickers, but the next open day isn't until march.

Indeed there was, and I meant to go back to it but forgot until the point where we were jumping on the bus.... "It's alright, I'll do it on the way back" thinks me..... "Who's off to the pub?" shouts someone. Best plans went to pot! I'm after some "No smoking" ones myself to decorate the house with. |

You don't really need to laminate the sign, unless it will be subject to a lot of wear. I put artwork together on my PC, print onto glossy label paper (I can get up to A4 size), put on a coat of oil-based varnish, wait until totally dry, and attach to whatever. If you go to Crafty Computer Paper, you can buy decal (transfer) paper in either clear or white. |

The supplier of the genuine labels etc is Tearne and Sons Ltd, 41-45 Hanley St Birmingham B19 3SP 0121 359 1717. They are very helpful and have an extensive back-catalogue available. Be warned, however, they are not cheap. That said, "obstructing the doors causes delay......." was £2.00 ea last time I got some. The sales lady there is very helpful (and patient) when you try to describe what you are after. Do not alight from moving train  |

For instance the warning on the methadone counter "Do not lean out of the window" (it's a glass hatch), my store safe "slide to open", and the back of the cash office door "Penalty Fare if you fail to show on demand a valid ticket or validated Oyster Card". ;D |
