One of the least convincing reasons for a sign being wrong

The story from Yellow Advertiser starts:

SHOPPERS are being inconvenienced by signs pointing to toilets that do not exist.

OK so far; sounds like a not uncommon story of signs that are wrong, out of date or pointing the wrong way. But then we get the explanation:

Local Councillor Harold Moth (Conservative, Fullwell) explained the matter was going through a European tendering process. He said: “The signs have three arms, and the other two are accurate”.

So (a) blame Brussels, and (b) don’t worry because other signs are ok.

Hmm…
