I am more worried for the person who considers it “a sad state of affairs”. God knows what would happen to them if someone ever put a traffic cone on top of a statue locally. |  | | |

Just outside Cheltenham lies the village of Uckington. They've had to install a specially adapted name sign on the main road, yet people still manage to squeeze an "F" or "L" on the front. Every time. |  |

Y'know, Mr G...it would never occur to me (or many others ) to squeeze the letter L on the front of that sign
Letter F however..... | | | |

Possibly the "L" was put there by locals, to block other additions ... | |

In 2010, villagers in the Dorset hamlet of Sh1tterton got so fed-up with their sign being stolen they put up a stone version.

I will now openly admit to nicking a Stanley Road sign in the build-up to Weller’s album.

There is a place not far out of Barcelona called Cunit.
Trying to get a photo of the motorway gantry sign out of the hire car window was harder than you might think. | | | |

Oh and along the same lines, in Northumberland there is a village called Shilbottle. The sign often gets changed to Shi.tbottle. | |

Cu nter and the Furka pass in the Alps often have people getting phtoos.
Bapsfontien in South Africa is my personal favourite. |  |
