I wonder whether there is an F on the door or not.

Apparently, but I don't think he's in the window.

Rather crass, slapping the name along the side like that. The original F.S.was much more discreet.

Was painting the front of the train in UKIP's colours a deliberate act?

The roundabout about which this sign warns http://goo.gl/maps/hIgQT was replaced by the traffic lights in the background.
In 2000.

That's silly, they forgot the NCN numbers.

Indeed. Notorious for these sort of feats of informative signage:

The metal signs are usually fitted by County council Highways dept. The stickers will have been done by a Sustrans volunteer.

In Ely we had to alter the Council NCN 11 signage as it directed you round in circles.

They also produced Ely Cyclemaps with the route of NCN 11 incorrect - the county cycling officer had marked it where he thought it went rather than check the paperwork for the agreed route, or actually follow the signs.

Literal translation: 'Buy one shoe, get 50% off the second'. So, a pair at 75% of the usual price? Methinks they meant to say something else.

Ah, that'd be it then. Ta muchly. 'Scuse my continental ignorance and apparent dyslexia.

The responsible citizen has nothing to fear from the British Transport Police, but you can't be too careful.

Walked (well I was pushed actually) on the pavement past a nursing home yesterday.

Security lights came on and electronic voice warned us "Warning, you being recorded on security cameras."

Big Brother...

Helly it's high time one of the superbrains on this forum invented a hover chair for you. It'd solve so many issues.

I don't think my friends could levitate here http://goo.gl/maps/HqvEs though.

We meet at the Tally Ho http://goo.gl/maps/fYJKL for a curry or other Wetherspoon's food,
amble towards the Trinity Church Centre fhttp://goo.gl/maps/F1dwN
for our Proper Meeting, then descend on Chix Chox http://goo.gl/maps/EYpNA for coffee ± more food.

That's how you do meetings! My meetings aren't as good as that.

Barnet Cyclists: Noli popinam praeterire!

We have a tea break mid-meeting, with ( chocolate usually) biscuits & hot drinks.

Ooh, I do like that shirt design. Quite silly, but also not silly at all.

hellymedic · « **Reply #999 on:** 30 January, 2015, 08:35:03 pm »

Shame I don't like the ~~shocking pink~~ cerise!

I have a yellow T-shaped shirt from a few years back, as modelled by Ian.
