deformed roadsign, Haltwhistle, 2013. When I took this photo, a lady in a nearby garden asked if I was from the council (of course, all council workers drive 15 year old Fiat Puntos with their wives and parents inside!) as she thought I was looking to get them replaced. Trying to explain that you go around taking pictures of old road signs is never easy!

The other side of this sign was a pre-Worboys 30 limit sign.

Actually, they were.

I can just imagine the conversation in the store.

Customer: I'd like to buy some lounge furniture please

Assistant: Yes we do several types, which one is it.

Customer: The rattan effect plastic one please

Assistant: can you please give me the name

Customer: It starts with "M"

Assistant: I really need you to tell me the name so we get you the right one

Customer: Actually I think I'll leave it thanks.

A sign at the end of Walton Well Road in Oxford, heading towards Port Meadow, directing construction traffic and the future.

This old sign is a fading reminder that before the automobile and truck, deliveries in Butte were made by horse-drawn wagons, thus creating a large demand for services related to horse-drawn conveyance.

Comments are welcome.

This hotel is amazing. It almost looks as swanky as the Starlux.
