Dumb Woman's Lane

Incongruous Flood and No Footway Signs

It never rains, but it pours.

The Last Word in No Parking Signs

Absolutely No Bottom Washing Permitted

Where did this notice really come from?  A laundrette?  A street in Washing ton? 

The truth: This sign was seen at a boat launching ramp in Hingham, Massachusetts, USA.

Silly Street Signs in and Around Town

No Entry to this Street?  - And Two Way Traffic?

This confusing combination of signs reminds Guy of driving in Spain, every side-street seemed 'No Entry', the signs conspired to lock me into the city centre.

Perhaps this Street Sign Clarifies Traffic

Here is Another Funny Street Sign that Defies Logic

A classic stupid notice.  Will and Guy muse, how much to sign-writers mistakes cost the economy. 

Out of Town Funny Street Signs

Obey This Sign

Secret Bunker - Not any more!

I thought we British were good at intelligence!  Perhaps this is all a fiendish plot designed in the secret bunker to confuse the enemy?

A Town Worth Visiting

Whitebeam 'No Parking' Tree

A newly discovered species of tree has been named 'No Parking'. What happened was the National Museum of Wales set about finding new species, or sub-species of trees. They discovered a new whitebeam and named it 'Sorbus no parking'.

The team did not confine their search to Wales and they found this new tree growing in a layby at Watersmeet in North Devon, UK.  As this was a layby, a local official had once nailed a 'No Parking' sign to the trunk of this particular tree.

When they listed the no parking whitebeam in Watsonia, the official journal of the Botanical Society of the British Isles, they chickened out and called it Sorbus admonitor (Admonish tell-off).

Two anniversaries coincided with this search for new species in March 2009, the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his seminal work 'Origin of the Species' in 1859.
