I spent a while thinking about what that sign actually signifies, but I've got nothing.

Something which seriously warrants the public's attention:
Not just any squirrels, but:

These are pretty great. I'm going to have to talk to Naomi about most of them though. I googled them and still can't figure them out.

Hilarious signs! So glad you recorded them! Loved them all and I can imagine how you must have laughed when you saw them in England.
Loved this.
