What is wrong with this picture? - MBClub UK

Picture is unedited... but something is odd. Can you spot it? No rewards

One way dead end!

Once you're in you never get out

Well done

I took this picture while driving near Holborn, central London, a couple of years ago. Not sure if they changed it since. Must be an awful lot of cars piled up at the bottom of this street..

Highway Code swots will tell you that the T sign doesn't mean 'dead end', but No Through Road (for vehicles). The signs are in Museum Street, which is indeed a one-way, no through road as its middle section is for pedestrians and cyclists only. However, just before that section you can make your espace by turning left or right into Little Russell St.

I would have said it was the ectoplasm or 'ghoul' ousing from the second floor window.

Inspired by this thread I thought I'd add my own.

Taken in WH Smiths a few years ago - I had to take a pic when I saw it! It's the worst bargain ever!

Sainsbury's are currently selling 2-litre bottles of Pepsi for £1 each, or a 4-pack for £4.79. Hmmmm...

Speaking of daft road signs...

I saw one on Holland Park Avenue the other day, stating "DELAYS POSSIBLE". Isn't that always the case? I've yet to see a sign reassuring me that they are impossible.

And today on the M25, a bog standard black-on-yellow metal roadworks sign headed "Advanced notice". Didn't look very advanced to me...

Who writes this stuff?

That always annoys me. Delays are always possible. What I want to know is are they probable?

mbenz76 · 31-07-2010, 08:41 PM

It's like the "slow moving traffic for x miles" - how do they know!

Rashman · 31-07-2010, 09:29 PM

I'm with Franey.

The second floor "Ghoul" looks alot more interesting.

I was hoping that you'd have some story to go with it!

lol

Is the "ghoul" the same spot of water I am seeing on the windscreen or lens?
