I thought that would get your attention.
In a time when we are constantly being reminded to save energy, why do we have an illuminated road sign at the top of school Road warning us about road humps that no longer exist, in fact, leaving aside the energy factor, why is the sign there at all ?. Presumably most of the boy and girl racers in the area are well aware that the humps are no longer there so any deterrent effect that such a sign might have in reducing speed without the actual humps being present will, by this time be non existant.
It makes you wonder how many other useless road signs there are scattered about the countryside, any examples would be welcomed in the comments section.

The signs are still there because the humps were only removed 'temporarily' while the road was re-surfaced, but now DCC are refusing to re-instate them, claiming they don't have the money to do so. This one will run and run ...
I am so very glad that you have raised the mega important matter saving energy. I and my fellow “greenies” can think of nothing else - in fact we have all taken a vow of chastity so that we can think of nothing else the whole day through. It is so vitally important that we do everything in our power to save our planet from the powers of evil (i.e. mankind). We all wear hair shirts (they are very warming) and flagellate three times a day (also very warming). I must go now as I have to meditate on the subject of Saving Energy for a few hours before dark. We have to go to bed when it gets dark as we have no way of lighting the house without destroying the planet.
