great sign.  and the word right has been erased in yellow

they only do this to get on two categories at once !

this was in a shop window as a spoof sign, but still very good.

more page number signs

plenty more paddington station page numbered signs, including page number 01 (the railway byelaws of 2001 would make a great front page for any book)

080331_850_img_7793.jpg

and the one on the bottom left below is interesting.  This is the second sign with a photo on it, but the photo is over the page number.  What IS going on with these page numbers ?

this chap whizzed past me holding lots and lots of keys. i hope he was called ‘keith’.

(i’m really missing the comments, but hopefully there’s a fix on its way soon!)

the new sign doesn’t fit

080331_350d_img_3255.jpg

perhaps it shrunk in the wash

flood

080401_350d_img_3277.jpg

there are a few reasons why i get up at 4.45am to drive down one of this country’s busiest motorways so i can start work at 6am.  the main one is because it allows me to leave the office at 4pm (meeting commitments permitting) and i can be home to have dinner with the family

last night when i got back we decided it was still light and warm enough to go for a quick geocache and look at a ford.

i noted this ‘flood’ sign in the middle of the ford.

by the way, another couple of reasons i get up so early are: that motorway isn’t busy, and (most relevantly) my clock gains about a minute every fortnight and i’ve been slowly getting up earlier for the last year without really realising it !  it also means my clock is always wrong.
