It was October of last year when I wrote about a new local roadsign that was troubling me, simply because the colour of the background made the sign impossible to read until you were virtually on top of it. Well, perhaps the local council read my blog, because they have finally done something about it!

At the time I think I described the background colour as a “sickly, fluorescent mustard-yellow colour” which on reflection was probably quite accurate. Prior to the sickly yellow, the background colour used for all historic monuments was brown, and guess what?….. The old colour has now been restored (see above).

How does the expression go? If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it (especially if it’s going to cost the local taxpayer)!
