Wrest Park, Beds, August 2004. The unfortunately named Little Dick was actually a labrador, but the damage was already done. |

Callender, Scotland, April 2005. How do they answer the phone? |

Stirling, April 2005. |

M6 Services, Gretna Green, April 2005. (I'm guessing it's been fixed by now. I certainly hope so.) |

Bishops Castle, Shropshire, July 2005. Should have been 'Herbies', but - well, you get the idea. |

The garden of the Castle Hotel, Bishops Castle, July 2005. I still don't know whether or not this was intentionally ambiguous. |

Blists Hill, Ironbridge, July 2006 |

Pickering, Yorkshire, July 2006. What incensed me about this was that this restricted, Tory-blue bench was sitting... |
Larger version |
...in here. Shades of Animal Farm, perhaps. I made a point of nipping over the railings to sit on it for five minutes. And I'm a socialist. Bite me. |

Greenbelt, August 2006, very late in the day. |

St Leonards, March 2007. This isn't funny or interesting as such, but what I liked... |
Larger version |
...was the way that it seemed to encapsulate the British seaside holiday scene in that neck of the woods, which was sadly rather run down.. |

Kington Small Breeds Farm and Owl Centre, Herefordshire. Whoever wrote the signs for this place had a very dry sense of humour and far too much time on their hands. |

Kington, the gift shop. |

Würzburg, September 2007. Once and for all eradicating the misconception that Germans have no sense of humour. |

Rothenburg, September 2007. |

Didcot Railway Centre, October 2007, and that year's winner of the "Is that *really* a place?" competition. |

Folkestone, March 2008. Wrong on so many levels that I simply don't know where to start. |

Atlantic City, May 2008. Wrong place, wrong time. |
Larger version |
Atlantic City. Only in America... |
Larger version |
Laundromat and *gifts*?!? |

Leaving Atlantic City, May 2008. |

Freshwater, Isle of Wight, June 2008. I was amused by the contradiction in terms of an animal-loving member of the RSPB who also supported game shooting, and probably fox-hunting. |

Brading Wax Museum, Isle of Wight, June 2008. I presume this is authentic. They could do with something similar in our local, actually. |

Didcot, October 2008. I'm guessing this has now been cleaned, but we were lucky to catch it on the day. |

Barmouth, Wales, February 2009. (You think that's tacky, you should have seen the inside.) |

Stow-on-the-Wold, June 2010. |

Greenbelt, August 2010. I know this is not just me. |

Presumably they're also better at spelling. (This was Hatton Farm Village, October 2010.) |

Reading, October 2010. I know I shouldn't find this funny, but I do. |
