A bit of light relief. This popped up on my Facebook today.
"No Parking At Any Time" Sort of defeats the point of a car park doesn't it?

    That's almost as much fun as the Llandegley International Airport road sign that some bloke maintained for 20+ years.

    Exeter Road sign - not in Bournemouth is it??

    Streeview from 2023 shows a big sign on the boarding offering parking, but the sign is just by the entrance.  Google search for news items has one in September 2024 saying the land will be built on after 10 years being empty.  Looks like the sign has been there for several years.

    Or names? Hoping that no-one thin-skinned is in the vicinity. That surely wouldn't include PPCs?
