Iām trying to document all the signs in Slough House (inspired by this from @your-mighty-words-astound-me)
If anyone with better eyes than me can read some of the ones below that I canāt decipher, that would be wonderful! Here we go:
The classic āNO WET SPOONS IN THE SUGAR!ā. This was definitely scribbled onto this post-it angrily by Catherine after she had once again found a wet spoon in the sugar.
āNEVER REMOVE THIS PLUG ā¬ļøā with plug underlined twice. That plug is probably keeping the whole building from exploding or something.
āOUT OF ORDERā on the lift, which has probably been there for about ten years.
āIf the water bottle is empty PLEASE REPLACE ITā. And a no smoking sign above it.
āNOTICE TO ALL. WHEN USING SPONGES OR CLOTHS PLEASE SQUEEZE OUT WATER FIRST BEFORE LEAVING IT ON WORKTOP.ā Poor Catherine having to deal with these messy children.
āLADIES AND GENTLEMAN, PLEASE HAVE SOME RESPECT WHEN USING THE KITCHEN AREA. DO NOT LEAVE UNWASHED DISHES IN THE SINK AND PUT YOUR DISHES AWAY.ā Thank you @abubblingcandle! The last bit is too obscured to read it clearly.
Think this one may be āKeep This Door Clear. Nothing to be leant ^up on this area.ā Itās in Catherineās office.
I just enjoy that thereās one of these on Catherineās and Jacksonās office doors. She definitely put them there.
Thereās also a written No Smoking sign on the landing - you can see it here behind Aimee in one of Giseleās photos, and Iām pretty sure itās visible in one of the episodes too, I just forget which one!
Thank you for reminding me of this one @too-many-rooks. āYour designated smoking area is NOT HEREā. Once again, this was definitely written by Catherine.
Thank you @daincrediblegg for reminding me of this one, and @timrousbeastie and @thebeigelunatics for their explanations. I wasnāt aware that this meme existed, but itās highly enjoyable that the Slow Horses have stuck this up in the kitchen. According to @your-mighty-words-astound-me, the number scribbled on to indicate how many days itās been since the last incident is 25,915,655,XXX (twenty five billion, nine hundred and fifteen million, six hundred and fifty five thousand, and an indecipherable three digit number that's been crossed out and another number written above).
This one made me laugh. āHELPFUL REFRIGERATOR CHARTā is so Catherine after her lunch has been eaten (by Lamb, probably) or one of the Slow Horses complain to her about their lunch being eaten. I canāt read it exactly, but the first line is āDid I bring this in?ā followed by arrows to Yes and No, which presumably point to āEat or drink your lunchā and ādonātā Lol.
āFIRST AIDERS C. Standish (3rd floor)ā āļøš©¹
Iām guessing Moira scribbled her name out? I could also see Lamb doing it angrily and drunk when he realised she might not be coming back, or when he received the third letter from HR that required his signature to finally dismiss her, but at the same time, if he was holding out for her return, I canāt see him scribbling her name out. Also, I wonder if Catherine has ever given first aid to anyone in Slough House.
Another one from the kitchen, nicely spotted by @your-mighty-words-astound-me. āKEEP THIS AREA CLEAN. (YOUR) MOTHER ISNāT HERE (SO) CLEAN UP (AFTER) YOURSELVES.ā Another one definitely put up by Catherine.
āOur aim is to keep this bathroom cleanā¦ Gentlemenā¦ Your aim will help. Stand closer - itās shorter than you think. You can do it!ā Of course, this is hung above Jacksonās toilet in his bathroom. I do wonder how many years ago Catherine put this one up, because I canāt see her having entered that bathroom for a while.
