Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Two nice ones found yesterday out on a bile ride
A Northants one:
And a Bedfordshire village sign...
Nicely shows what a glorious day it was weather-wise for the 17th November!

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Just added a finishing touch to the bottom left corner Jim hope you dont mind...
That was Simon Templar taking the picture for you wasn't it?

PS You may have missed the Whatsthisthen? Buckinghamshire Speciall
Eventually it got nailed by Gibbo, seems like the history of automotive manufacture in Buckinghamshire is not that well known. I did pose the question "What was the best car to come out of Buckinghamsire?" in the final reveal...maybe you could let us know your view

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Bit of colateral trivia Jim....
Obviously of the two directions on your fingerpost "Bozeat" has the more interesting name.
Original home of of the BBC no less, and with subsequent lnks to the football boots worn by Bobby Charlton and Bobby Moore..............

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Interesting on Bozeat Neil It's a grotty little village and best avoided - one to pass through rather than linger in... Unlike the other village in the sign - Grendon - and the little village of Easton Maudit where I bagged the sign...
Both are achingly beautiful...
Easton Maudit has a nice church too
The car made in Bucks was unknown to me... I thought only Aston Martins were made here and as they were once made not a Swallow's flight from my house they have to be my choice
For me it's a toss-up between the DB5 and the Lagonda...

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Is Bozeat the only example of "z" in an English place name taking the Serbo-Croat pronunciation?

Around these parts it's pronounced 'Bo-sh1t'

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Yes, you made a reference to it not being what it was (bit like Eccles really) but then the correct pronunctiation (so far as anything's correctly pronounced in Northants) is all I recall of the place but, depressingly, I've been back in The Smoke for longer than I was up there.

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Utterly shocking I must go on the look-out again Neil
Here's a late one of mine taken on the 7th October of this fine year
It was a lovely day and a lovely ride too
Loving the patina but not much use as a sign though TLC needed...NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑21 Nov 2020, 17:49

That's a rather harsh criticism of Milton Keynes Peter!

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Taken during my bike ride today This one was missing a 'finger' for ages but now has a nice new one...
This sign points to two significant destinations. My home town and my former place of gainful employ
One I'm always keen to return to and the other I have no intention of returning to ever I served a life sentence of 42 years there with no time off for good behaviour...
