Are there pictures expressing anti-occupation sentiment directed at British Forces in Germany before 1990?

I was in that period often stationed in Germany, for the Dutch army. I have never noticed any problems between the German population and the British army. I interacted regularly between military (Dutch, British, US) and German civilians.
There were stickers, signs and (little) posters on cars or in shop windows, especially in bars which signaled that British soldiers should please abstain from entering.
Yes, those were 'Out of Bound' signs. They were not little signs or stickers, but prominently displayed. Quite a few bars and entertainment venues carried them. They were not placed there because the Germans disliked the British that much, but for a different reason: most soldiers in the BOAR were not exactly eager volunteers. Many of them served to avoid a prison sentence. Drugs weren't that common back then, alcohol was the preferred drug of choice. Young men with a criminal record and alcohol are not a good mix.
One of our jobs (military police) was to patrol those bars and venues. 'Out of bounds' applied to all military, not just the British. When we interacted with civilians it was usually for traffic incidents. Of course a German would be furious when a tank accidentally backed up in his front yard. Anyone would be. But apart from that I never noticed any 'we're occupied/BOAR go home!' feelings.
