Some nerdy facts about Vauxhall : it was originally the Vauxhall Iron Works, based in Vauxhall obviously and then moved to Luton to expand capacity. Until recently, Vauxhall was part of General Motors and made badge engineered Opels (a German brand). Vauxhall and Opel were recently sold to Peugeot. In the USA, there wasn't a direct equivalent of Vauxhall although some of their models were sold as market orientated Chevrolets and Buicks.

There was a pictogram showing one of those round bombs with a fuse on it; the picture had the red circle with a diagonal line through it. So the meaning is, if you have a bomb please do not bring it into the building. I looked at that and laughed my head off. The guards looked suspicious.
