Strange Road Signs

[Nigel-YZ1]

Can you tell where our migrant workers come from recently?

And it's always useful for motorists to be allowed to do 60mph on a gravel road between two stretches of 40mph tarmac:

Looks like the sort of road Google maps navigation on my phone is always sending me down.

It's the same system that suggests Sheffield to the Isle of Wight should go via central London.

More strange signs from the gravel roads of West Norfolk. Is this the most ironic "clearway" sign ever?

And on the other side of the officially-a-bridleway section, there's this sign and I thought that lettering predates construction of the A149 in the late 1960s - does anyone else think its combination with a modern no-through-road and a maybe-1930s house seems slightly creepy, a bit Prisoner-ish? Maybe Norfolk villages just feel that way!

In a similar way, I feel there's something a bit strange about this 1970s sign surviving below the motorway one. Its green and yellow are different to the current colours, some of the letters/numbers are slightly different shapes and the spacing is all unusual and it's even odder in that its modern replacement is just to the right of it. I'm guessing it's some sort of Highways England / Avon / North Somerset wrangle, like so much of what's happened to botch that junction:

And me, that sign always makes me think of the book

No pictures unfortunately but on the road to Chambra in India two signs.

1. The holiday spirit does not start ith a glass in the morning.

2. Be kind to the person going up the hill, you might meet them on the way down.

You have to slow down to read them, they are so long.

Didn't see any noisy barking dogs but did see a few vocal clucky hens.

There used to be a sign by the disabled parking bays at our local garden centre which said "Take my space, take my disablility". Presumably dyslexia then!

This was an odd one, spotted in Lincoln last week :
