English Cafe’s Sign Sums Up How The World Feels About America Right Now

A chalkboard sign outside of a café in England is getting some Americans’ knickers in a bunch.


On Nov. 10, Daniel Alpert tweeted out a photo of a chalkboard sign he saw in Clerkenwell, England, that quickly went viral:

The sign, found in front of Goswell Road Coffee (which is a café, and not a pub), reads: “All Americans must be accompanied by an adult.”


Due to heightened emotions and an overwhelming sense of fear in the U.S. after Donald Trump was elected president this week, many on Twitter weren’t laughing.



@danielalpert Ironic outside a pub in a country that voted for Brexit :)

Some reactions were genuinely funny:

And some who liked the sign felt compelled to speak up:



@DanielAlpert @hazelwood_tim serious sense of humour failures on this thread

@DanielAlpert @GreekAnalyst would be funny if the sign was not written by a Brit

@platypusrex256 @DanielAlpert @umairh you elected a man with zero political experience/brains to run your country. I think we do.

“Our signs are not meant as offensive but it is imperative to remember that offence is taken, not given,” a representative for Adrian Jones, the owner of the café, told The Huffington Post.


The representative also mentioned: “We also take the piss out of our own establishment.”


Indeed.


Jonestown Coffee, which is also owned by Jones, was responsible for this post-Brexit gem back in June:

In response to the backlash, Goswell Road shared this message on Nov. 11:



PRO Trump translate sign: left wingers calling us brainless kids.

ANTI Trump translate sign: right wingers calling us whiney kids.

The account also featured a picture of Friday’s sign.



Our signs are for the LOLz only. We, as a company, have no political view or standing. pic.twitter.com/AMCgjfTvX2

Bloody hell.
