Re: Notices..what have you spotted?
My dad was a proof reader back in the '50s, sadly he died in the '60s but if he hadn't he would have been out of a job. I would think that about 50% of the men in Petts wood worked on the newspapers when most of them were in Fleet Street, I don't know what they do now, probably retired like me.

Re: Notices..what have you spotted?
There remain lots of errors in the written word and most are public signage and websites - news sites predominantly.
Spellcheck doesn't get them all.
I worked for a sign making company and made a grave spelling error, Beresford instead of Besford. A stainless steel plaque that cost £200 to produce.

In the car park...
So, it seems the only thing to worry about is birds, giant magpies by the looks, nicking stuff from your car after pecking a hole in your windscreen
Fermyn Woods is noted for its population of Red Kites and last year I ran a marathon around the woods especially to see and observe them
I was lucky to see a few during my duathlon yesterday

I like it up that way, quiet and peaceful - generally.
