- Travelling in county Kerry last year, I saw the following sign at a T junction
-
-
- <---- Ballybunnion 3m
-
- Ballybunnion 5m ---->
-
-
- Also, a few years back, on a motoring holiday in Germany, I saw, upon
- approaching a small village:
-
-
- Wank
-
- followed upon exiting the village, by
-
- Wank
-
- (crossed out). Both signs had worn patches around their bases, where,
- presumably, English speaking humorists had posed for photographs.
-
- When asked about my holiday plans for the year, I can now rarely resist
- the reply "Oh, I'm going to wank for a couple of weeks".

-
- A sign outside an imaginary Cheshire village, which should be invented
- specifically for the purpose:
-
-
- DIMMERSWICH
-
- twinned with
-
- RHEOSTADT
