Hugs

I read somewhere, that it was National-Hug-Week/Day. But then, perhaps it was just wishful thinking from Heather or Kate.

Standing at the traffic-lights yesterday, I noticed a sign that said 'Fussgänger drücken / Hug a pedestrian'. I got out of my car and tried it - needles to say, she didn't like it!
When I pointed the sign out to her, she gave me the correct translation 'Pedestrians press', which I suppose is a lot shorter than ' Pedestrians, press this button if you wish to cross the road, it might help change the lights in your favour ...'

I prefer the other translation!
