Hi
Can anyone recommend an online supplier of signs. I've tried the local hardware store and B&Q and a couple of local sign shops, but none of them have what I'm looking for. Basically I'm having trouble with kids on motorbikes messing about on my parking area, so I need a sign that says private parking, no motorcycles (or 2 separate signs would do).

Add another "Caution, oily road" sign?
car park sign - I didn't see one about motorcycles.
At the moment it works like a 3-stage filter system (1) One of us goes out and tells them to stop (2) The police come round and tell them to stop (3) The police take them away in the back of a van
Like all filter systems, the majority are stopped at the first stage, and the majority that get through are stopped at the second stage. The sign is intended to make life a bit easier by acting as a stage 0.
Use Microsoft Word and a cheap £25 laminator from Safeway or Office Supplies.
Why would the police get involved - what's the crime?
He says 'parking area' - some kind of private off-street area? The sort that is good to zoom around on? Trespass?
There's been an advert on the "Real Radio" station round here for a send away for parking notice complete with parking tickets.... you couldn't make it up. ;-)

For that really pro look, RS do an ally etching process. Posh, innit.
Trespass isn't a crime, though, is it?

No, it starts off as criminal damage and when someone goes out and talks to them in a minority of cases it becomes abusive/threatening behaviour. Amazingly, the majority of them don't seem to realise they're doing anything wrong and actually respond quite well when its pointed out to them, although some of them need a police officer rather than a resident to tell them.
I've found a sign that says "private - no public right of way" which I think is the most appropriate one. After all, parking is not the issue here. There's another one that warns that legal action may be taken against unauthorized persons found on this property, but I think that might upset legitimate visitors and make the place look like a trouble spot (although, frankly, it couldn't look much worse at the moment)
Not necessarily. The attitude seems to be similar elsewhere, too.
There was an article in the Saturday papers about some guy who has been imprisoned for refusing to pay the Police precept element of his council charge after having been burgled 5 times.
He obviously failed to realise that the Police are now an arm of the Inland Revenue, rather than enforcers of any law.
Not as daft as it sounds:
What has the council charge got to do with the IR?
Sombody lives in North Wales .......
The State is the State. I don't give a damn what the sign outside says.
One interesting site I've found is
And get nicked for the scrap value of the ali !!!
