110 Days

110 days since travelling by car.

Shouldn't I get some sort of rebate ?

20 mph Ph.D.

Are you sitting comfortably ?

This is a 20 mph sign at the end of Edward Street as it enters Church Road, Redfield, next to the Chinese takeaway, indicating that this stretch of Church Road is 20 mph. Right ?



Wrong. This sign, 50 metres away, at the end of Verrier Road, by The Old Bank, shows the end of a 20 mph Zone as you enter Church Road. Or does it ? Surely, that's what a crossed out 20 means, with the words 'Zone Ends'. So what's with the other 20 in the red circle ? Perhaps the speed limit's still 20, but the 20 mph zone has ended. Uh ?

I knew I should have taken a Ph.D. in street furniture.

No matter, this lunchtime, a police car sped up Church Road on the wrong side at 80 mph, without siren or lights, which at least gives the impression that everyone else is doing under 20.

April Fool

Judging by the speed of traffic on this stretch of Church Road, Redfield, the 20 mph sign must be some kind of April Fool's joke.

Or Not

Scrap that last post. Looks like the man's going to get his way and build anyway.
