Sign spotted in Market Harborough. Once a very popular shoe shop, this company ceased trading in 1996, so very surprised to see that this sign looks freshly painted, so cannot really be called a 'ghost sign'
Ghost signs for Dixie Machine, Welding, and Metal Works. The company seems to be out of business, at least at this location.
Alan watches to make sure Gavin correctly inserts the words "and my brother, Alan" into the acknowledgements page of his first book, a phrase which had been inexplicably absent from the original text submitted to the publisher.
I have found some local signs can seem to be a bit missleading
esp'ly for a visitor, the sign on the left seems to inform that our railway station is to the right at Fenton, the access is but its not Fenton station, whereas a stranger can see the station ahead ( thats the bridge ahead carrying the railway) tho' the bridge states 'low bridge ahead', yes there's one afta this but thats a low one too, so in my eyes asign here at this point wud inform drivers to be aware this is the one!. A sign before this had read : station/fenton, turn right, but we dont have a station at Fenton anymore, so it was pianted-out, as a car passenger I tend to notice these things, but I feel sorry for visitors on our roads.
n.b. - when one gets a 'GREEN' at this section, as you enter the next section the lights goto 'RED 'again,so you wait to enter the next section, ther is a bus lane on the left which they pull into but have to pull-out again as the road goes back to 1 lane, very few buses use it - I wonder why !
This 92 year old man had a few things to say at the Life - HRG meeting I attended in Hyderabad. He used to be a stage performer and gave a sample of it during his speech.
They really need to hire a proofreader.
The French translation of "If you have any questions, contact the operator" omits the first clause. I wonder if they have a lot of French visitors calling the operator because the sign said so. It reminds me of the English translation of the manual for our crepe pan that says to oil the pan with half of an apple (instead of a potato).
