Ah, but imagine ordering a pair of fluffy slippers and actually getting a coffin! Wouldn't that be fun?

One of the most photographed village signs in Dorset is outside the village of Droop. Men queue up to photographed standing by it.

A nice example of shrewd thinking by a local council is shown when you drive over the River Uck, near Uckfield in Sussex. The sign by the road and river is shaped like a T, with the word RIVER on the longer, top bit, and the word UCK on the shorter bottom bit. No space for an F there...

As for our neighbouring village of Fulking - well, need I say more?
