That is Tamworth Australia, not the UK Tamworth.

And of course it isn't real 😂

Holding your breath while going through the Clyde Tunnel has been a game ever since it opened over 60 years ago, and takes about a minute.

Every parent in Glasgow teaches their children this, so that sign is a local joke.

Gumley, Leicestershire. The road does actually go across the pitch.

I have a recollection of a gated road to Gumley, and not one with cattle grids, but one where you had to stop and open each gate.

Admittedly that was some time ago, but was it this road or another one in the area?

This road comes from Laughton but I can't remember it having gates - although there used to be several in the local area.

Unless it's cricket season bolshy sheep are normally more of a problem

Memories getting clearer now. Not this road, but Debdale Lane. Still just gates and no cattle grids.

Ah, yes, I know it well.

There's a 'BOAT' (Byway Open To All Traffic) across Buxton Golf Clubs greens
I've been over it in a Landie, you have to look out for balls

I have some photographs on a hard-drive somewhere

I can vouch for that BOAT - I ended up with a nice golf ball sized ding in the rear passenger door of my Discovery The golfer was really nice and offered to have it repaired but I just pointed to the car covered in dents and scratches and said not necessary

Not exactly a "road" sign but this seemed the most appropriate thread.

Just as well it's not actual size. A bit of subversive humour on someone's part? Imagine the home delivery charge!

For $150, I would hope that was actual size! (I do realise it is really $1.50, but I see no decimal separator there).

I presume that store is somewhere in the Southern USA, such as Texas, New Mexico, Florida, with bilingual English & Spanish signs.
