I have seen quite a few pictures of our interpretation uploaded onto Flickr, so if it is getting that far I suspect there must be a lot more people out there photographing signs, and I certainly do see people doing so from time to time, when I escape from the desk. Of the ones that make it to Flickr some are of the more amusing type, my favourite being the picture of the "Cheery Flapjack" label in one of our restaurants!
Thankfully we don't stop people doing this, unless they want to do it with a tripod in a glasshouse at a weekend :)
Thanks to all for their on- and drifting off-topic responses to my original post.
