Hi Jos,
....in this case would rather advocate something like "Anschauen, nicht anfassen (!)" (Yes, ---- I think the exclamation mark IS essential here-- after all it's in German :mrgreen: , isn't it ....)
Or, more polite : "Bitte nicht anfassen (!)" ----- which in fact often proves to be a sure invitation for "Touchers".:roll: (I think everywhere on this planet that would be...) The choice is up to you......
(As a sidemark:
Im my local dialect it would rather be : "Aagugge, ned aafasse !" oder even shorter, like Comedian Bülent Ceylan would charmingly put it : "Uffbasse !!!!" (~ paaaas opppp !!!!))
Hope it helped
Greez
Siggi

When I was studying in Freiburg, one day I came across some park benches that they'd just painted. The sign read "Frisch gestrichen" with an arrow pointing to one corner where it said "Hier probieren".
