Ever wonder where all that speed camera money goes?

Post by Tahrey1043 »

Got the pictures back from the damage-evidence single use camera today and discovered a forgotten gem.
Spot the deliberate (?) mistake! Double points if you can tell me where this is :P

People get paid to make those signs :?

How is that possible?!?! Does someone sit there and hand-paint these things?!

But, far more importantly, what *is* granny doing to grandad (and is he enjoying it :wink: ?)

Also (you might have seen this):

Dunno but it wouldn't be the first messed up sign I've seen!
Whenever you see something dodgy like this (whether its signs, or someone pulling a bad pint)... you just have to bring to mind... who would ever apply for such a job? Unless it was all they could get :)
As such it's just amusing now rather than angering, but I'd love to add to the collection.

The SHCOOL brings the infamous SOTP to mind!

(I am so smart! I am so smart! S--M--R--T! I mean S--M-A-R--T!)

As i'm already posting pics and i dont want to dredge up an old thread i may as well pop something in from the same roll - the dodgy extra-wide corsa on skinny tyres :) Looks like a particularly badly made brand of new-wave iron or something dunnit..

the quality's duff because it was zoomed and clarified from this 6x4 photo (wasnt using my digital :) ):

but I hope the general cockeyedness of it comes through (and the max power sticker which is the mod that has come off best, out of bumpers, arches, lights and tints!). Just too bad you can't see all the bubbles in the tintwork and the assymetrical slant on the lights!
