This sign which seems to shout its message, was in the kitchen at ‘St Michael’s Mount’ in Cornwall. Would you dare to disobey, especially if Carson the butler from Downton Abbey was around?

LOL – Not sure what Carson would think about me. I’m so beyond his time in the way of thinking. I like him though. 😉
so glad you followed this post up with the later framed windows post full of interesting random tidbits about the castle!
This is the best ‘loud’ sign of silence I’ve ever seen Sylvia. Great catch sweetie! 😀 ♥
We had neighbours that always banged their doors!! It was most annoying!! Maybe they needed a sign like this! 🙂
Yes, it is very annoying indeed. 😦
certo che no, ha ha, buonasera Sylvia
That’s just as well, Annalisa. 🙂
You don’t want those pies to drop.. 😉
Absolutely not. 😀
What a SLAM dunk!
Thanks, Nancy. Brilliant! 🙂
I think I would obey the sign. The all upper case letters after the “Please” are quite intimidating.
Yes, I think that’s the wisest option. 😀
I also some silence.Like some noise but ….
Me too, Marylou. 🙂
Haaaa. I love the SHOUT for quietness, Sylvia. Classic 😀
😃
I never saw a louder sign, Ad. 🙂
😮
Kind of makes me want to do the opposite….almost.
You would! 😉
Somebody has to.
I can hear his voice saying this; I really enjoy Downton Abey, much of it I have seen 2 and 3 times.
Yes me too, Charlie. It’s a great series. 🙂
oh i would not dare disobey! 🙂 🙂
Exactly, Lola. 🙂
I think I must be one of few who haven’t seen Downton!
I’m shocked, Gilly. It finishes in December, and them I’m going to watch it again from the beginning. 🙂
I think I read and watched way too many historical novels in my teens!
But this is so tongue in cheek. It’s hilarious, especially Maggie Smith. She’s absolutely priceless.
I know I’d like it, maybe one day I’ll sit long enough to watch it!
Ah, no, I don’t think I’d be disobeying the mighty Carson!
Me neither. 😯
I think I can disobey Butler Carson since I have never watched Downton Abbey 🙂 That sign would work for my sometimes irritable niece 🙂
I’m addicted to Downton. I don’t know what I’ll do when the series comes to an end. 😕
But but! if the door doesn’t creak, it’s not a door! 😛
None of my doors creak, Andy. 😀
Ah okie 😀
Especially my nice new front door. 😀
Nice! 😀
Huh???
😆
I’d be careful to shut that door quietly, too! Reminds me of a funny sign we saw on vacation once. “Sorry, We’re Open” in bright red neon. Struck me funny. 🙂
That’s funny. Which country was it?
It was in Bozeman, MT in the US.
Well that’s even funnier. I thought you were going to say somewhere foreign, like China, where English isn’t spoken much.
I wouldn’t dare disobey 😉
Me neither, Sherri. 😕
Very funny but at least it doesn’t have an exclamation sign !!!
Yes, that’s true. If Carson had made the sign, it probably would have one. 🙂
My least favorite sound.
We had neighbours in South Africa who always slammed their kitchen door. It made them sound as though they were always in a bad mood. 😦
Our neighbors have a back screen door that constantly slams. 😦
😁
Just Carson could leave a message like this!
Absolutely. 🙂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who cringes every time I hear a door slam.
I’m with you, Joanne. Horrid sound.
lol!
No, I wouldn’t! 😉
Me neither. 🙂
