Stating the obvious - # 09/14

Isn't it funny how local Councils are always looking for more and more innovative ways to spend our local tax money?

I snapped this "innovative idea" at Teddington Lock.

Those who know the place will agree that between them the Local Council, The Port of London Authority, The Department of the Environment, The Health and Safety Executive, Transport for London etc etc have been vying with each other over who can put up the most signs trying to tell us what we must and must not do, and how terribly dangerous this place might be if we even dream of going near it! The result is a complete mess of "signage", the curse of our civilised urban society.

By the way: Suburban sundown hasn't finished, but you will have noticed I'm resting (no postings for this past week). The weather and the sunlight must be right - and at the moment they are not. Also the mode and the inspiration must be right. At the moment they are not.

Great power: a heavy responsibilty - # 8


Victoria, Queen and Empress of the greatest and most powerful empire the world had ever seen. She obviously takes it very seriously indeed, and is not amused. http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page118.asp
