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.

Pickering, Yorkshire, July 2006. What incensed me about this was that this restricted, Tory-blue bench was sitting...

...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...

...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.

Atlantic City. Only in America...

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.
