I thought my husband was reading a bulb catalogue, and since we have no garden in London I was puzzled when he called out: ‘I’m sending off for this one for you.’
It turned out that he was reading a catalogue from Seton’s (‘Solutions for a safe, secure workplace’), and he wanted to get a sign for the kitchen door: ‘Danger: Explosive atmosphere’. Very droll.
What struck me was the obscurity of the image on the yellow triangle above the legend. It looked to me like a sunrise behind a mountain. Far more like an explosion was the picture that was meant to go with a hazard warning about lasers.
