Love the sign. Except that on this side of the pond, and everywhere that British English is spoken, a solicitor is a kind of attorney. And I’m not the first person to point that out, am I?

Maybe to some solicitors, a baguette or some toast is expensive.

OMG that’s hilarious! The guy who took the sign is probably making a career change, you should charge for the sign.

I had to laugh at the image of Robin’s comment – lawyers randomly roaming the streets! Ha ha ha!

"I had this vision that in the US, bands of lawyers roamed the streets, randomly knocking on doors and trying to sell stuff!"

Ha ha! Me too, thanks for the clarification. That sign reminds me of Robin Miller's email terms of use.

Heck, I could use this for my house for all of the salespeople/religious groups that come by!

I had a very confused idea of what was going on here – but then I realised you were using a different meaning of “solictor” than the usual UK one. From Merriam-Webster:

Solicitor (noun): (2) a British lawyer who advises clients, represents them in the lower courts, and prepares cases for barristers to try in higher courts

I had this vision that in the US, bands of lawyers roamed the streets, randomly knocking on doors and trying to sell stuff!

I like politeness of this sign……
