No, I've no idea either, but that's what the sign said. In Nagycsarnok, Budapest's 'Great (covered) Market'.
Straight into my all-time top ten of 'English-as-a-foreign-language' signs/slogans.
I think the motto I spied on a Taiwanese moped many moons ago still claims the much-vaunted number one spot:
"We Reach For The Sky. Neither Does Civilization."
I've still not cracked it...
Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
