It's a travesty they never got credit they deserved. If it was an englishman they'd still be banging on about it now. The original carrot was white, it is only orange due to evolution.

In the absence of anything of factual interest, I'd say it's called progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to entirely close Richmond Hill in the event of snow these days so I can't see the closed lane being of any consequence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 " Why did we go from a round "Stop Sign" to a Hexagonal one ? " They all start off round, then they cut bits off all around the edge, melt them down and make more stop signs. Can't have too many. Much like I'm doing with the round pounds, clip bits off to make round pounds when we change over to sided ones, to fit that damn machine that hasn't been converted!

Don’t tell Moorhouse, or we’ll have a fucking Tynwald question about counterfeiting stop signs. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
