Just been out to Porthtowan (Togo-land, as to holidays) to pick up the Order of Service cards for my god-daughter's wedding in ten days - they are now en route to London.

Coming back through the lanes, we went through Mount Hawke. Driving into the village someone had carefully whitened out the village road sign Under 'Mount Hawke' it read 'Please d i e carefully in the Village.'

Any other gems like this?
