SIGNS SEEN DRIVING FROM BRIGHOUSE TO NEWCASTLE
(going Fester's scenic route via the Dales - all of them)
"Slow ducks crossing" - is that ducks walking slowly or really dim ones?
"Beware of the ducks"
"Beware red squirrels crossing"
"Beware of lambs"
"Look out lambs"
and my favourite advertising a farmshop near Keighley
"Vegetables are not just a garnish for your meat"
as Fester said "that's subtle for round 'ere"
ROADKILL SEEN ON THE SAME JOURNEY
hedgehog - a couple
rabbits - a handful
an unidentifiable bird of prey
a sheep - well it was lying by the side of the road with its legs in the air
and finally, near Wideopen, a stoat or it may have been a weasel
Fester asked "Are you sure it's dead?"
Well if it wasn't it was awfully relaxed about lying sunbathing on its back in the centre of the road
MJH Best ever road-side sign we saw was in Northern Ireland a couple of years ago. We'd seen all the usual signs outside farms: eggs for sale, duck eggs for sale etc and then we saw 'Bulls For Sale'.
