Just a sneaky excuse to post a pic of Jane Birkin.

Is that a GT6 in the background?

[myglaren]

She did have one for a while so quite likely.

No excuse needed Steve

Perhaps I will start a Jane Birkin appreciation thread then.

She is French-ish after all.

A better picture.

Definitely!

A better picture.

The lovely old finger post sign has been replaced with a characterless modern one, and the patch of grass is now shrub beds. Oh, and Jane Birkin has also gone

Oh, and Jane Birkin has also gone

That's the bigger tragedy

Indeed, along with Françoise Hardy recently.

Sort of in the same vein;
Our commune (LA) has at last given houses numbers & signposted entries to each little area on the roads previously called 'Lieu dits' (known as) where each house was identified as Lieu Dit ****. A nightmare for deliveries etc.
The signposts are finger type fixed to posts planted in the ditches in our country road which stick out to the edges of the road & are constantly getting smashed off by lorries & agricultural machines & run over by vehicles.
Getting fed up with straightening & replacing our areas signs I emailed our Services Techniques office telling them I was constantly repairing/replacing the signs & suggested that maybe vertical signs might be less liable to damage.
A few days later I received a very officious letter telling me that I was not to touch their signs & report any damage to them for the commune's attention.
I now just send them photos of signs laying annihilated in the road.
