Well.....that's what the sign said.

About half an hour ago I nearly walked into the glass doors that lead into the foyer area at the HSBC Bank where the cash dispensers are...the rest of the building is closed - there are security shutters fitted. There's a sign on the doors that reads; 'Caution: Automatic Doors' and I was assuming that they'd open automatically, but I was mistaken. On Sundays [and whenever the bank isn't open] the doors aren't automatic - you need to press a green button......so shouldn't the sign be changed to: 'CAUTION: THESE DOORS ARE NOT AUTOMATIC'?
