2. Erm, I’ve just looked at it again and I’m not sure it’s a sign. Is it a menu? I can’t tell the true size without a reference. It’s like looking at a Picasso.

   OH. BTW, the sign is just larger than an 8.5 x 11 and is mounted on grey/black see-through plastic. It’s the specials board at my work. Not telling you where.
