Why do these signs only seem to appear in the UK?

This rather modest declaration comes from Cork in Ireland apparently. A chain of corner stores no less!

Well you may have tried Morrison's Spag Bol before, and found it to be an absolutely appalling experience. In which case, it would be more sensible to buy just one rather than two.
As purchasing just one would be advantageous to you, it seems only fair that you should pay a premium. In a sense you are paying extra for less pain.
If you're British, it all makes perfect sense.

Reminds me of the hospital sign reading "Family Planning Advice: Please Use Rear Entrance". I can't believe that's genuine either.
Congrats on your recent 1000th post, BTW.

Yeah, he's not gonna post anymore! :RFLMAO:
I think y'all are cruel to make fun of these signs, usually the result of a poorly educated soul doing their best to make good. Take, for exampe, the following image. Now, how do you suppose the telephone order conversation went with the customer service person at ASDA? Something like . . .
ASDA person: 'An would you like anyfink on da cake?'
Customer: 'Yes, I'd like Best Wishes Suzanne. Underneath that we will miss you
Nice try . . .

Does that mean (logically) that if I live in Britain and don't like Morrison's spagbol, and therefore don't want to buy it, I have to pay heavily for the right not to buy it?
No wonder you lot all drink so much.

You're buying the pleasure of not having to eat it twice. If you really dislike Morrison's spag bol, this is surely a good purchase? Why's that so hard to understand?

On that basis I am set to make a killing selling my infamous lentil-burgers in England!
Infamy and fortune, here I come!
