NO
ELECTRIC PASSENGER
CARRYING VEHICLES
BEYOND THIS POINT
Which is surprising. I have never seen a vehicle carrying an electric
passenger anywhere in Heathrow airport.ptw@vaxine.UUCP (P. Tucker Withington) (06/10/83)
They also have a lot of signs saying;
+---------+
| WAY OUT | (!)
+---------+
Which may explain things, (parentheses mine).rjsmith@ihu1f.UUCP (06/11/83)
NO ELECTRIC PASSENGER CARRYING VEHICLES BEYOND THIS POINT I'll bet you've never seen an electric passenger carrying any vehicles, either.
emil@rochester.UUCP (06/11/83)
I haven't even seen electric passengers carrying one vehicle.
paul@phonlab.UUCP (06/11/83)
How about an electric passenger carrying a vehicle?

utcsrgv!dave says he is puzzled by this sign in London's
Heathrow airport
NO
ELECTRIC PASSENGER
CARRYING VEHICLES
BEYOND THIS POINT
because he has "never seen a vehicle carrying an electric
passenger anywhere in Heathrow airport."
Perhaps he's been looking for the wrong thing. Next time,
he should watch for electric passengers who are carrying vehicles.

RE: The sign in Heathrow that says: NO ELECTRIC PASSENGER CARRYING VEHICLES BEYOND THIS POINT I have also never seen an electric passenger carrying anything *nearly* so heavy as a vehicle!

Of course you've never seen an electric passenger carrying a vehicle-- the sign is purely informational! -Joe P.

Does anyone remember the Electric Company and the confusion over a sign that said: PRIVATE PROPERTY NO FISHING ALLOWED which one person interpreted as: PRIVATE PROPERTY? NO. FISHING ALLOWED.

NO ELECTRIC PASSENGER CARRYING VEHICLES BEYOND THIS POINT obviously refers to electric passengers, who are carrying vehicles around the airport. They are *very* strong, those electric passengers. judith !brunix!jss

It just goes to show how insular all you Americans are. Of course England leads the world in the development of robot and android technology. (You don't think just ordinary elecrtic people could carry vehicles do you, no, these are the heavy duty stevedore grade androids.) This, of course, explains why unemployment is so high in England. /anton aylward

Nor can I imagine vehicles being carried by an electric passenger.
