I don't think I've seen any Comic Sans Criminality on the FGW▸ (First Great Western) network, although I'm pretty sure there must be something somewhere.

Screw that - its all typo snobbery

Would I send a CV in comic sans - hell no - because of bigots

Is it my preferred font - yes

I am dyslexic - its easy to read - I like it. Do I advertise I'm dyslexic - no. 

I HATE times roman - HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

I use arial if I have to use a windows machine (its the default), helvetica on a mac (again default) and either of them for a professional doc - anything ele where I can choose - comic sans rules

Can't stand Comic Sans MS. Bloody awful font. Anything written in it is amateurish as far as i'm concerned.

Not Comic Sans ... but still amateurish:



Any suggestions as to the FGW▸ (First Great Western) station at which this was displayed?

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Well done, Louis94: yes, that poster was displayed to the right of the entrance to Weston-super-Mare.

Interestingly, it was a variation on the wording displayed at Bridgwater - but they still got it wrong!  Roll Eyes
