And ... offering to give someone a ride in your car in the UK has quite a different connotation from the use in the US. :)

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.
