Polite signs in Nuwara Eliya town gardens, Sri Lanka.Photo taken during a most welcome midday apres luncheon (rice and curry) walk about, December 2007.Whilst returning from the still ravaged post tsunami east coast, overland in an NGO flagged pick up truck with bum breaking 'shot' suspension. Leaving behind the dying embers of a most indecent uncivil war
Reminds me of that good old graffito: "it's no use standing on the seat/the crabs in here can jump ten feet" (wall of the Edinburgh University Union toilets, ca. 1966).
et avec John, excellent lecteur de road-book, on s'en est sortis sans erreur

that's not science, it's semantics.
An acquaintance with a LR defender (who was generally no slowster) used to do exactly that if he got a tailgater on a single track road. He would slow down until he judged the gap was sufficient for the stopping distance at the speed he was going. If this made the boy racer in the following car get closer, then keep reducing speed. With the low ratio/transfer box (I don't know the exact terminology), a defender can happily drive at less than walking speed if necessary, something that's a complete pain in the arse in a boy racer car.
Kim, you are very bad!
Writing on the Ghost Signs website, ghost signs expert Sam Roberts says that the protection of the sign in Warmley “presents quite an interesting precedent, in that a sign can acquire protection within the context of planning being granted for a change to the building”.
