Strange Road Signs

[Gravity Aided]

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

I've seen that and remember reading an interesting story about it in a leaflet or guidebook or something ages ago. I did a bit of googling and the only info on the story I can find is in French here.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_du_Chat_qui_Danse

The English (all played by Dick Dastardly) were attacking St Malo and sent a huge ship packed with explosives to destroy the port. The ship ran aground, blew up but did nothing to the town apart from killing a cat. Which was why the French named the street Dancing Cat Street.

Cats in France are extremely versatile.

As a slight aside, I used to play in the river here in the 60s and it looked almost exactly the same

This is a genuine road sign near Lochgoilhead. (And that's my mate riding up the road, not a squirrel on a bike.)

Not my picture, but in Olney, they have white squirrels.

The squirrels have right of way on the streets.

Half way up the climb in Wollaston it always lifts the mood when you see this sign:

As for Illinois, only people in my section of the state, and farther north, would get that. Very spotty usage of the term around here, parts of Chicago and south to Bloomington and Peoria, but not much farther. Meaning , however, is exactly the same as in Britain.
