Peter,
having experienced the damage that bird droppings can do to a car?s
paintwork, I understand the sentiment behind the sign. The
funniest/strangest sign I think I?ve seen in france was in a vegetable
patch in a village near Le Mans. It said ?Ne mangez pas mes choux!?
(Don?t eat my cabbages!?)
I never did work out who or what the sign was intended for...
All the best,
Mark
