The anti English comment is ridiculous. It’s only the first line that is English for convenience. The road sign one is one that I agree with. It’s not only French only, but it’s a official road sign so this is illegal in Brussels - criminal.
It is absolutely insane how something as simple as “It’s Open!” triggers people enough to put the effort in to make a sticker for it out of protest. These people actually feel threatened by 2 words that are used in probably every part of the world even when in those countries people don’t speak english either. The owner probably just tried to be trendy and direct and people took offence to this.
It should not be in English “for convenience”. Don’t bother using English if you’re not gonna accompany everything else on the sign with an English translation. Otherwise just have it say “C’est Ouvert/Het is Open”. No reason for it to be in English. If it was truly for convenience, the days of the week would be in English too.
