i’ve walked under this sign for nearly 3 years and only today realised it says “5 races”. hoorah for neon.

photos from tony

donning is such a great word. and it looks so good in print too.

this bit of scotland has only recently become a national park if i understand correctly. they are so proud, yet so protective they’ve introduced a nice signage system along the footopaths saying “national park – caution do not cross”

follow the yellow brick road white tape:

what doesn’t go up must go down.

security is paramount in these modern days. i was surpised to see this key stuck on an outside wall protected only by a piece of smashable glass. the key looks like it allows access to the basement of the building it was attached to.

the shop owner might be sorry, but the bailiffs were probably less so. at least according to the formal notification posted below their sign.

i love the detail in this sign:

this is one of my most favouritist street signs. it’s in wokingham in the south of england and is next to the train station by a level crossing.
it’s got everything. motorways in blue and brackets. a double bracket round the end of (A329 (M)), A roads in and not in brackets, fat roads, small roads, maximum heights, maximum weights, local amenities, a station, local information and 6 place names all on one sign.
you are meant to read this whilst not getting hit by a train coming in to the station.

the Oak Tree Inn had soup of the day, cheesecake of the day and a rather worrying asserole of the day.
i hope the ‘asserole’ is missing a ‘c’ and not another word mispelt

How mad is this place ? Haggs welcome, but please drive carefully. We all know what bad drivers haggs can be.
this photo was taken whilst driving away through the village so apologies for the quality. it’s surely better to walk and snap rather than doing a drive by.

here is another triangle danger sign. what is it with these little things ?

misleading advertising or can you really get a poster printed as large as infinity ? how do they charge for such a thing ? and how do they deliver it ? and where would you put it ? everywhere ?
