A pretty suggestive sign outside the drive-thru of a Costa Coffee store in Lincoln has caught the eye of many across the city.
The sign on the new drive-thru at Costa in the Carlton Centre on Outer Circle Road is supposed to read “pick me up” but the font has led people to believe it is sending a different message entirely.
