A Warning to Visitors!

This Yankee Store card (No.39) is not in good condition, but you still have to laugh at it! You wouldn't see a card like this released nowadays!


It advises visitors to keep to the left (well, somethings haven't changed!), as it  reminds them that "This is British soil"!
It also tells them that the police aren't "cops" in Bermuda but "Bobbies"!. I've a funny feeling that they aren't called "Bobbies" nowadays either!
The card is postmarked August 1935 and bears this stamp - 


This is one of a set of four stamps issued on 6th May 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V.

It does make you chuckle though!
