Thanks for that, did you look it up or did you just happen to know?

I knew there was one in Leicester, but I had to look up where it was. I also found that there was one in Wolverhampton, one in Wednesbury and one in Castle Douglas, which I didn't know about.

Bet you'd find lots of people having their photos done by the road sign, infact I bet the road signs are always being stolen. Last time we were in Ireland I tried to get my husband to drive to Tipperary so I could have my photo taken there, just to prove a point, but he said it was too far.

Ouch.

Thats what he said when I hit him over the head with the guide book

My favourite roadsign is in Stratfrod - it has a one-way dead end street. Yeah, right....

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Hey, we have one of those too psd.

In addition to a New Zealand there's two villages (hamlets really) near here called Scotland and Ireland. At one junction there's a roadsign pointing to those two which tourists often stop and take a photo of. The house nearby has cashed in on it by planting a suitably adorned flagpole in their garden, now they're in all the photos as well.

My favourite village name in this area has to be Temple Cloud though. I'm often tempted to rent a PO Box there just for the luxury of having that address on my letterhead.

There's a Wales in north Derbyshire (or Nottinghamshire).

When I was in Knights In Battle, a medieval re-enactment society, they toured around doing a 13th century show at fetes and whathaveyou. The White Knight was Eldred of Wherever-today's-show-is. I always hoped that we'd get booked to do a show in Much Wittering.......

Did you know that there is a "real" 'White Knight' in the modern-day world? That's the hereditary title which has been held since Medieval times by the heads of one old Irish land-owning family... Their near neighbours include two families whose heads have traditionally been known as 'The Black Knight' and (IIRC) 'The Green Knight' respectively... Two of the three also use territorial designations (one of them being 'The Knight of Glin'): One of them is also a Baronet, but the others aren't actual "knights" (as in having been 'dubbed', and entitled to be called 'Sir') _ unless any individual holders of the positions have actually earned that status for themselves _ they're just 'esquires' like the heads of the Irish & Scottish clans.
