Take A Tour

 
 This was somewhere in Italy, some signs there are without, others with "description":
 

I think this was our last stop, from there it was back to Germany. Sadly only till Nรผrnberg where we had to "kill" three hours and what
ran we into?
 

 Is one street nicer, more pompous than the other? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Since German number plates have to have the abbreviation as first it´s really difficult to find fun plates, but here are two:


This one is from Hanau and here is a visitor from Dinslaken:


This one is funny as Ingo uses this as example for how to pronounce his name, when people only read it:
Dingo without the D - otherwise most try to start like with mine which in English is pronounced with an "eye" for "I", but Eyengo just is wrong, LOL.
 
And Monday I saw this truckie who just came from LIDL:
 


 Yep, a Frenchman, even they buy at LIDL.

And Henry ๐Ÿฆ, he just went down "his" street:

 
Taking part in Tom´s Signs 2.

Ah... your street, that's funny. And I like the (d)ingo part

When I moved to Braunschweig in 2002 I lived on that street indeed. Now I pass by every Monday on the way to our old bakery.

Do you live in Italy? LOL I see "Via Garibaldi" there ... I was visiting friends in Milano on "Bartolomeo Cabella", a street very close! LOL
I'm back on the blog! Does that make you happy? LOL
A very little BIG HUG for my Hathi (Colonel Hathi)! ๐Ÿ˜

Fun series of signs, street names and car plates Iris, I must start noticing more, I miss so much with my head in the clouds ๐Ÿ˜

Tom said...

...Iris, it's interesting how common things for you look so different for me, but they still have a similar feel. I've always enjoyed those circle mirror, I don't see them often here though. Thanks for sharing, take care.

Iris Flavia said...

Ella, that would be at least warmer in Italy! ๐ŸŒž
I´m hopping over to you, glad you´re back, little BIG hugs ๐Ÿฆ‹

LOVE all your signs this week. Is it because I'm American English that Ingo's name was always pronounced like it sounded in my world? Who would turn an I into an E (except after C-grin)?

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, it was too funny a couple of times how people in Australia tried.
Even when Ingo friendly corrected them they had no clue, but this does the trick ๐Ÿ˜Š
You can also take "Bingo" in case someone has no clue what a Dingo is.

It is great fun looking at signs - sometimes you see the funniest ones. I never thought of pronouncing Ingo with an "eye" - it just doesn't sound right somehow. Enjoy your day :)

My name is Erika. said...

I especially like the photo with the mirror and the cars. That is cool. But I must admit, I love photos of signs so that is a great post for me. Hugs-Erika

Jeanie said...

These are all great!

Iris Flavia said...

Margaret, I´ve heard people struggle with that name, and I struggled with others often, too.
I´ll try to enjoy my day... at the dentist it starts, ewww...

Erika, yes, I have sooo many signs in my signs-file since joining Tom! Hugs to you

Dora, that sounds homey!

Jeanie, you´re welcome!

River said...

Why would anyone think to say "Eyengo"? I knew right away it was Ingo, it's very simple. I do know a few people who insist on saying Eyetalian for Italian, but they don't say Eyetaly, they say Italy, so how do they not see the difference.

Iris Flavia said...

River, beats me, I dunno! But I have difficulties with some names, too...
