Use discretion

Use discretion by mafleen.
Browns Bay, Cullercoats. A small bay north of Cullercoats harbour which is home to the wrecks of the Butetown, the Zephyros and The Astley. Car parking is on the road side above the bay with steps leading down to a small sea water swimming pool. For details on how to find the wrecks see the "Dive with us" page on the Deep Blue web site, this includes maps and photos of the bay. The depth is about 7m and air can found at Deep Blue www.deepbluedive.com which is only 10 minutes away.

Ah "DIVERS" not "Drivers" that makes a little more sense.

yes, i read it first as drivers! How the mind plays tricks!
still funny though, undressing divers must have been regularly indiscreet to warrant a special sign! I wonder if they had to have it specially made?

But does this mean that anyone who is not a diver may undress without using discretion?

This ones mine! Its Browns Bay next to the kiddys park, so when the divers get out we strip. and many complains had came in on people who dont use towels to hide behind.

Exactly my thoughts, Zen00zero. Non-divers can feel free to undress in any way they like.

Dear all, well it made me laugh.
The story is as Steve said a parking space, near a school,where the divers and surboarders get changed before going in the sea and when drying off.
Apparently, although I have not seen it myself (yet) some of the boys are not at all SHY ?
Will have to wander back when it's busy!!!
Well I can live in hope :.>

Mafleen, there's a group called Pictures of England which has just started a new discussion thread (featuring photos) called Zany English Signs (or something like that). This would be ideal.
