jacko1 - Apr, 01 2009 11:04am Being English and therefore unable to understand any other language I would have taken this to mean self service, no entry, is that a contradiction?, how can you serve yourself if you are not allowed in, booze I like, I will accept your translation. pesu - Apr, 01 2009 09:04pm Tony, 'sauf' in French should be something like 'besides' or 'out of' - so, this sign actually means 'out of service'. But we Germans see the verb 'saufen' in it, at once... You should ask JP for a proper translation. ;-) jacko1 - Apr, 01 2009 11:04pm I will go with your translation Petra, this could get complicated, I like the :booze: answer best.
