The signs at the end of the street don't help...

:noidea:

 

Sounds like directions from Mrs mikeprice

 

when navigating - i.e. holding the saynav and telling me which way to go

 

she gets left and right mixed up quite frequently

 

which is 'confusing'

 

 

although not as confusing as arriving at a roundabout and me saying "which way?????"

her reply - UP

 

 

 

on one occaision her sister was directing and she said DOWN

 

 

 

 

sigh

Link: Road sign bungle sees Yorkshire sign erected in Lincolnshire

Residents in a North Lincolnshire village have been left feeling a little disorientated after a road sign was erected welcoming people to Yorkshire.

 

The mysterious sign, which can be seen by motorists entering Sandtoft, appeared earlier this week.

 

One resident said it was about 150m (492ft) from the original Welcome to North Lincolnshire sign - on the same side of the road.

 

Some have suggested it is the work of contractors unfamiliar with the area.

 

The local authority, North Lincolnshire Council, said it was unaware of the sign, while the neighbouring authority, Doncaster Council, has yet to respond to a request for comment.

 

Posting in a local Facebook group, one resident said it appeared the sign had been put up on the wrong side of the road and facing the wrong way.

 

'Waste of money'

 

However, some, including Steve Dale, who is originally from Yorkshire, welcomed the move.

 

"Glad about it. I get some right stick about moving to Lincolnshire and I argue that its still Yorkshire as my address... has a Donny [Doncaster] postcode," he wrote.

 

"I'm hoping they move the county lines a couple of miles to make it official."

 

Others were quite happy to remain in Lincolnshire, blaming the Yorkshire council for the error.

 

One just said whoever was responsible, it was "a waste of money".

 

Sandtoft is on the the Isle of Axholme, an area of North Lincolnshire comprising a number of communities, including Sandtoft, Haxey, and Epworth, on the border with South Yorkshire...
