They call it “attention seeking”...
The plot thickens!
In the past on many occasions, I have done just that, noton this site I might add. And you know what? some have taken it on as they knew it all along. Well this time, no one has come forward with any new information, so I will take it that no one does know anything about what is going on at Splatford Split slip road. I will give it a few more days before I reveal what it is, just in case ...
So why don't you tell us all then.

And like said in an earlier posting, if these signs generate more tourists then perhaps that's how the town centre economy can be boosted.
Everything that Diana Mond has suggested would happen, is happening now, so that was a waste of time telling us. I have had people over the years asking where such and such a place is and they are stood within feet of a sign telling them what they are asking me. What does that tell us?
