Laura saw this one in Ealing, London. I suppose, techincally, white wine is kind of beige and red wine is kind of purple, so maybe the sign maker was a color purist...
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Either that or wine that cheap can't really be classified the same way. "yeah, it's kinda like red wine..."
Do you think "in these premises" (on the other sign) is idiomatic, or possibly also an error? In the U.S. it's usually "on these premises."

I didn't notice that, but I think it's a mistake. I'm not sure you even can be "in" premises.
so it's "red" and "white" wine 2 for $5? Yeah, I think the quotation marks are absolutely necessary here! :P
Actually, andi, it is 2 for £5, meaning 2 for US $9.89.
