    Looking good even when ugly

    Thursday, July 17th, 2008

    For this funny sign you would not believe the number of times we drove round a series of one way blocks just to get back to vaguely near this sign, park the car, get across the street and into position to take this photo, but worth it in the end.

    Look good on the slopes even when you are sorta ugly

    No Strutting

    Todays funny sign is simple, and I just love this one. We saw it at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire. The meaning is clear enough - no walking across the courtyard. But on a second look I think you could walk, amble, sprint, jog or hop across, pretty much anything as long as there was not a hint of saturday night fever in your gait.

    Whoa…slow down there. Other road users around.

    So we are all used to signs warning about cyclists and pedestrians, or on this site squirrels, tanks and stags.  But here was a new one on us - skaters.

    slow down for skaters

    Tank crossing

    Leaping stags, squirrels and now tanks.  These roads are getting crowded!

    Close up of sign

    You have to ask yourself, was it a big problem before they put the sign up?  We stayed in Woolloomooloo for a couple of weeks and there didn’t seem to be too many people running round shooting anything or anyone.  None in fact.  And if you were going to, would a naval base be the first thing you shoot at?
