Beamish Museum (in County Durham) were going to build a roof, similar to that of the Eden Project, that was going to allow them to have authentic smog, or re-create a heatwave that the area suffered in the '50s.

Fell for that one, but saw through the rest that I read yesterday.

we have road signs for police dogs, squirrels, badgers, frogs & toads, ducks, sheep, cattle, otters, horses and deer, i don't see why hedegehogs should miss out ...

[Old_Geezer]

Surely the large animal signs are to avoid vehicle damage. Small animals aren't likely to be so damaging.
