This one in Golders Green, London is an unusual survivor because it's an instructional sign so, unlike information signs, really should be to current standards.

@gricer in the "Kia Pride epic shite rescue - times three" thread.

I think individual raised digits are the way to go. Could reasonably be white on black or black on white/yellow for a 1968 car.

Well at least it passed the MOT!

Wow, that hedge is on a totally different scale to mine. I only have a 5 foot high beech hedge to keep in check.

The mower looks sad, perhaps it feels guilty. Would make a nice calendar pic, if it was October.

That's really shit, I hope you recover soon. I had something very similar while cycling a couple of years ago, except it was a half full can of lager that missed me by inches. It was a shock but, probably by sheer luck, I managed to stay upright.

I really can't be trusted with corded hedge trimmers. This isn't even the first time I've made this mistake. Verdict: idiot. It's a good job my house has modern electrics with RCDs.

I can't find a calendar thread for this month, so I'll suggest @trigger and his yellow pairing in the new news 24 thread

402. 1981 Ford Escort van Seen in Horley, Surrey on 21st May. Seems to have had an engine transplant and a colour change. Mark 2 Escort car production ended in 1980, so I'm not sure if van production continued a bit longer or the year of manufacture is wrong.

All stamps back to 1971 are still valid and many can be bought below face value on Ebay etc.
