Mystery Sign(7). Now solved!

**Here is Mystery Sign number 7 - solved by lorenzo!


This is a sign I have encountered from my everyday life - fill in the gaps word-for-word with exact spellings as displayed on my "Mystery Sign". The winner will be the first accurate unedited post.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And yes, this challenge has a "three-hour rule" applying to it.. The gist of my "three hour rule"? If you're a native English speaker you can certainly comment - but don't post an answer, or any clues, until three hours after my original post. Let the members learning English/non-native English speakers have a crack at it first - then everyone else can chime-in. So I'll have to leave that up to your good judgement because, aside from the usual suspects, I don't know who is learning English on this site, profiles don't always "let on". And so you guys learning English - you've got a head-start of three hours!


You can post multiple times. However, if, after you've posted, you realise that you've made a spelling error, or changed your mind about a word, re-post the whole answer, don't edit your original post.

Here are two picture clues to help you "on your way". The first clue is the "location" of my Mystery Sign.

Acting on bicycles, stalebreads, scooters or stilts is not submitted alkaline ready.

Not very good, I know.

I wonder if any other native English speakers can think of more 'incorrect' possibilities, Annie?

This is not a correct answer, I am messing about!

That's such a clever idea Sally :) And hey, without even trying, you still got five words right! (bicycles/scooters/or/is and not!) - nonombre, May 26, 2011
Hi Annie! Well, I only put in some correct words that Darth Vader had already worked out, so as not to spoil it for the leaners! :) - galsally, May 26, 2011
Thanks Sally but you know, once it goes past the three hours, it's "all-in-together-girls!"...... - nonombre, May 26, 2011
I think Darth's done-a-runner ! - nonombre, May 26, 2011
