Reading signs on the British highways has been quite entertaining, as always. For instance, to get to the hotel or zoo, we have to turn at a ruined store that says GNOME LIGHTing. That tickles me. To get to Owslebury, you go through a section of extremely narrow road marked, “Oncoming traffic in centre of road” and that is true! On our last visit there, I met a large truck (a lorry, of course) just when entering the village, where the road was at least a lane and a half wide.
In a “car park” the other day we were following the EXIT signs and realized that they were not WAY OUT as usual here.
On the motorway, at a couple of service centres, the sign at the exit warned "Not 24 Hrs" --- now what does that mean?
Some corners have "PART-TIME LIGHTS" (I guess they have a good union!).
One favourite we passed often, in Twyfford, reads:
Real Pub
Real Ale
Real Food
Real People
........ and a little sign next to it "Part-time chef wanted"
Aside from Owslebury, we have been to Over Wallop, Middle Wallop and Nether Wallop and more!
