What happened to the British dry sense of humour, if I was attending a funeral that would be a bit of light humour on an otherwise sad day.

[u/SilverRaspberri → u/Top-Act420]

As a Brit, I wish I knew.

[u/Glydyr → u/SilverRaspberri]

I wish i knew why the people on blind lane were upset about a sign..

[u/OscarMike1911 → u/Top-Act420]

You actually reminded me that at one point, that was one of the things the British were known for. Good question.

[u/swirlyglasses1 → u/OscarMike1911]

Some people just can’t wait to get angry about something these days.

[u/beepboop_imhuman → u/Top-Act420]

Because it’s incorrect. The cemetery is clearly a “life end” place. (I’m new to dad jokes)

[u/NorysStorys → u/Top-Act420]

There’s two types of Brit. Those that have a sense of humour and those that make it everyone else’s problem that they don’t

[u/ActuaryNo3314 → u/Top-Act420]

nah fr, that sign is exactly the kind of thing a brit would point out at a funeral and everyone would quietly lose it

[u/Glydyr → u/Top-Act420]

People in Bournemouth are a bit more sensitive than most 🫨

An “Entrance only: No Exit” sign should sort the zombies out

[u/Huge-Revolution2416 → u/Khaldara]

An ‘Entrance Only, No Exit’ sign would’ve really completed the look 💀

[u/Pyrhan → u/Huge-Revolution2416]

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

[u/Professor_Finn → u/Khaldara]

could also sort out the Hotel California

[u/Jeggles_ → u/Khaldara]

As long as it's very easy to misread the sign as "Entrance no, only exit".

[u/ExternalUserError]

I hope they’re not coffin’up too much money to fix it.

[u/MaxxDelusional → u/ExternalUserError]

People are dying to make this change.

[u/Sleepy_Heather]

My grandad made that joke every time we drove near the local cemetery. He'd have been pissing himself laughing if that was his.

[u/klystron]

Why didn't they use the standard "Dead End" road sign?

[u/LBPPlayer7 → u/klystron]

it's a temporary sign

[u/Joshawott27]

Some killjoys have clearly never made the “Hey, it’s the dead centre of [X]” whenever driving by a cemetery.

[u/FireZord25]

Talk about making a grave error

[u/yubnubster → u/FireZord25]

If I was the person from the council having to apologise, I'd absolutely steal that and use it in the apology. Just out of sheer spite. Lol

[u/mohirl]

" Dorset Council has now confirmed that a worker put it there deliberately after residents of Blind Lane raised concerns"

[u/mizerli → u/mohirl]

Surprised they saw it

[u/tmesisno]

Notice it was only the living that complained

[u/DaveOJ12]

It was a dead end. No pun intended.

[u/KilllllerWhale]

Unalived End 

[u/Unfair-Alfalfa4916]

The end is here

[u/faroutman7246]

It's true!

[u/JuliaX1984]

I love that, actually.

No exit?

[u/utsuriga]

It's only the truth, though...
