I like the notice on the shop door in Rotherham "You can't come in while we're open"

My Yorkshire born and bred OH tells the story of the level crossing notices
"Stop here while light is red"
that had to be changed because "while" means the opposite in Yorkshire to it's meaning in the South of England.
