I see Catalonia has banned bull fighting.  Perhaps they now have bollards to satisfy the blood lust instead?

Quoted from 26

If I lived in Bourton on the Water say, I doubt I'd have a clue what rising bollards are.

There we was, fed up with being in the village so I says to 'er lets get in that there motor 'ome and head out to Newbury, see what it's like in a big town. (Being country folk we normally only gets out of Bourton to spray slurry up the side of a council building). So we gets aboard and off we goes .

Now, what's this?  says 'Pedestrian Zone'  10am to 6pm. and little pictures of a car and a motorbike. No motorhomes though, so I guess the sign don't apply to me and since I aint from 'round here....guess I'll just keep on driving..

Oh look, there's one out of the other window as well...nah.....still can't apply to me..

Jezzz..another one..whats this then?

I recognize the word 'Rising' and I understand the word 'Bollards' but..somehow they make no sense together....and what's that word above them?   hmm...'Warning' gee that's all kinda wrong..you'd have thought they wanted me to stop or summat..

And what does 'Authorised' mean anyway?

They're here again with this 'Rising Bollards' stuff..they just won't give it a rest..

This is doing me 'ead in...  they have only gone and done another sign with them 'Rising' and 'Bollards' words on it,  I'm so confused..but I'm gonna keep on driving anyway..

Well they're certainly all in yer face about it here...another one of them signs with the words 'Rising' and 'Bollards' sod it...I'll keep on driving..

Oh, and now what's this?  them words again but this time with the word 'Stop' above them....

I mean, what on earth can they mean? words like Warning, Stop, Rising and Bollards all jumbled up like that on all them there signs.....makes no sense at all.

And to top it all, they now got 'Danger' 'of' and 'Damage' there.....what can they be trying to tell me?

If anything's about to happen, I just wish they'd warn me...

Must press on though..got to get back home...ours is only a small village and tomorrow it's my turn on the Idiot rota.

What if you don't notice them?  

Liked the pics - how about you doing the same for speed?

Those signs become invisible when you're tailgating a bus, be fair.

Even at 20mph they should be 12m behind the bus.

How bout at 10mph, or when at rest, or puilling away in traffic?

Hmmmmm..all vely intelestink!
