Summary
(Part 2 of 2) Let's continue where we stopped in the last episode, by going through the rest of my list of funny English signs 🪧 from around the world. These signs are badly-written and have unintentionally funny double meanings. I will read out the signs, then explain what is funny and offer corrections to make the signs clearer. I will also explain vocabulary in the process. PDF available.

| 0:46.3 | Hello, listeners. Welcome back to the podcast. |
| 0:51.0 | So let me tell you about this episode that you're about to listen to. I've decided to do |
| 0:57.3 | another funny English science episode because the last one was quite well received. People |
| 1:03.6 | seem to enjoy it. Got lots of comments from people saying that they were laughing out loud |
| 1:08.5 | and that they enjoyed the combination of some |
| 1:12.3 | funny stuff and some learning English. So let's do the second part of this episode because I've got |

| 2:09.9 | right now. Here we go. Welcome back. This is part two of this two-part episode in which I'm looking at some |
| 2:22.0 | badly worded signs from around the world, including English-speaking countries. These signs |
| 2:27.8 | are written in either incorrect or ambiguous English, resulting in some unintended meanings, which are actually very funny or strange. |
