Thought for the day

[Pinkham, Jim]

My high school Spanish teacher used to tell the story of planning to
dine one evening with her Brit friends. 

One guy said to her, "I'll come by about 6 and knock you up." 

"I think not!!" she retorted, indignantly.

I saw a similar sign in a Glasgow restaurant that said, "This door is
alarmed". I thought, "How can you tell?"

Because English is used (quite) a bit differently in the UK, I kept
chuckling about the signs I saw while I was in Scotland. I knew what
they meant, but the North American meaning was quite different than the
UK meaning.
