These pictures make my teeth itch

Nothing wrong with the building, only the placement of the cupboard in an entirely inappropriate place, and someone's idea of a tongue-in-cheek choice of artwork hung above an accessibility (wheelchair) ramp. The overall effect it slightly perplexing, especially viewed 'second-hand' by a camera.

a tongue in cheek choice of artwork to put next to a wheelchair ramp? Not sure I understand... are you saying that just because it depicts a woman standing up? I'd have thought it would be miles more patronising to show a wheelchair person having fun on a picture next to a wheel chair ramp.

Old 2CV doesn't get it, does he?

there are so many things to get about that image, it's horrific. The actual subject matter of the picture and how it relates to the nature of the ramp? No I don't get that.

Perplexing is not synonymous with patronising.

it would be somewhat perplexing yes. I think you're reading rather too much into it though... it's just a slightly too large office wall mural based upon some crap stock photo. I can't imagine it is intended to mock the disabled. Still not quite sure what you were meaning.

The nearest I came to mentioning 'the disabled' was using the word 'wheelchair' to qualify the description of the ramp, and nowhere did I even imply mockery, let alone show any inclination to poke fun at anyone. The fact that the picture is taken at a silly angle and hung over an inappropriately placed cupboard is what is slightly (visually) perplexing. I am not reading anything into anything. I make a purely observational point that the building is fine and even the picture is harmless enough. Putting the cupboard where it is amounts to mischievousness.

Yea, definitely needs a blown-up Wheelie Girl in the frame.

The cupboard might be hiding a hairy middle aged man mooning on the photo.

Take the pic one post down. Why not just edit that light in? Why would they do that?

Ignoring the cringiness, is it the "sa" bit that you take issue with? It's troubling me.

You would think so, particularly for the over 3's. Would think that the pronunciation explanation for the gin part would start with a 'J' too.

All the so-called "witty" signs involving gin annoy me. "Let the weekend be gin" and the like.
