| Well, that's it. Iran features a complete set of signs belonging to the UK-family. Rocks and Children are identical and that's true for men at work as well. | The center picture shows the type-specimen. Iran did develop several variations on the theme. Compare f.e. the shape and surface of the heap and the place where the worker plants his spade. |

| It looks like the design of the newer signs
shifts away from the root. The disgusting match-stick version
shows resemblance with his colleagues from Germany
and the Netherlands
The Urumiye sign features a second heap. |
The Urumiye-man fits even better the UK saying ... it looks like a man trying to put up an umbrella ... than the original. But here he is acting probably more against the dust than the rain. |
