is that a sign warning you about a sheep with a parrot on its head?

Seen near Biggar, Scotland, on a cycling tour of the Borders a few years back:

It was real, Haha Road, London SE18

A public road named Private Road ... (I think it fooled the Streetview driver because (s)he didn't drive up there!)

Never mind the buses, trucks, taxis, cars, motorbikes...or terrorists. On London Bridge, all risk is squarely based on the bicycle.

My goodness! I didn't know we were that dangerous.

Intriguing street name in St Malo...

So why isn't it the 'Rue du Chat Mort'?

We have a slightly confusing road near us too. It always makes me think of Cary Grant running through a field of maize!

I'm guessing @Drago on a bike could be a pretty fearsome sight.

I've just found an old notebook from my travels in India in 1991, when I went by road up the hill to Darjeeling (the famous mountain railway being fully booked for the week by a group of railway enthusiasts). It's a dangerous road, and there were regular warning signs along the way. I didn't photograph them (film photography, very cramped conditions in the bus, and moving quite fast), but I did write them down...

"It's better to be 15 minutes later in this world than 15 minutes earlier in the next"

"Better to be slower to your destination than quicker to eternity"

"If you're aiming for survival, don't believe in fast arrival"

"Drink and drive, you won't survive"

"Drive with care, make accidents rare"

"If you want to see the hill drive slow, if you want to see the hell drive fast"

"'Slow' has got 4 letters, so has 'life'
'Speed' has got 5 letters, so has 'death'"

"Drive slowly to enjoy the beauty of hill"

In my imagination, the French lined the ramparts (near to this street) jigging merrily in a 17th century way and waving cat placards and maybe a big cat puppet to taunt the English.

But it's just my imagination ... runnin' away with me.

Like this ...



MINUS cows, sheep, ducks and other farm animals, PLUS a dead, sorry, dancing cat!

I would move aside for him.
