Speeding Problems

Whatto! Motorists............

I was recently at a meeting of the local parish council........................

and the question came up - yet again - about "What to do about Cars Speeding in Villages?"......

It seems to be a perenial problem that will not go away.................

The local council can't afford to install a speed camera....................

so - reasonably enough - they put up a sign saying "Please Slow Down!"..........

But that didn't work either!

Some enterprising individuals tried a sign which said "Slow Down! Old People's Home!"...........

- It had no effect!.................

They have even tried to play on the paternal instincts of motorists and put up a sign saying "Danger - Children at Play!"....................

But still no discernable reduction in traffic speed!.................

Then I suggested to the chairman that we needed to be a little more creative in our thinking and I put forward MY idea for a sign which - to their credit - they tried out!...............


......probably more out of desperation than anything else...................

BUT IT WORKED!!!............

Every vehicle now simply CRAWLS through our lovely little village at a snails pace!!.....

The only problem is that it does seem to have increased traffic too!............

The SIGN?.....................

It simply says.............



.............."Nudist Colony"!

Tallyho!
