"Let" is not used too often, except in a case where someone leases a submarine and then rents it to a third party. You know, subletting. :nana

There's obvious opportunities for laffs if you have a small can of paint and a brush

I remember seeing many similar signs when we were in the UK a couple of years ago, and often misreading them, and marveling at the quantity and visibility of public toilets over there... :mrgreen:

I stand corrected; it's not used that often in the US.

Econo, remember there's no" I" in "To Let".

 I'm pretty sure a letter is someone who rents or leases. It's not common but it's possible to open one of them with a letter opener.
It would tend to get messy, though.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
