Those old timer sign results in full
And the winners are...
Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software
It's hats off to you, our beloved readers, for your massive response to our challenge to create an "Elderly people" sign to replace the current couple of cripples hobbling down to the bingo - an image which doesn't much impress campaigning old timers organisation Age Concern.
Well, it's taken us a while to sift through your contributions, and we'd like to thank you all for your exertions. Below you'll find our pick of the crop, leading ultimately to the winners. Obviously, we couldn't run all the submissions, so don't take umbrage if yours isn't featured.
Firstly, we have a bunch of suggestions which wholeheartedly failed to embrace the concept of being a bit kinder to wrinklies. Many of you, including Captain Daft, suggested that senior citizens are in fact cantankerous warmongers behind the wheel of battery-driven chariots of death:

Here are some more completely unnecessary digs at old codgers, courtesy of (l-r) Kae Verens, Steve Muir, Maryn Wynn and Donald Stewart:

Ooh I missed the results
I won! cooool. How do I get my T-Shirt?
Lemon curry?
Well, I've popped in from time to time this week to read the comments... seems all the merriment I was expecting never materialized, poo!
So I'll just say that I'm amazed my 5 minute knock-off satire of a school crossing sign rated so highly (lowly?) as to warrant headlining the article as, er, top dishonorable mention. (I just did it for a laugh with friends and family, never expected to see it again!)
BTW, for the spirit in which the contest was intended, I think the skateboarding senior sign was an excellent choice!
???WTF???
What...No image of a Jerry Can (US Pronunciation) with the words Jerry Crossing?
The skateboarder one is more appropriate for the sidewalks around here...
to warn the "Gerrys" that there is youth about.
Did'nt really like the winners myself, either.
More appropo would be a walker.
