PEAS!
-
Travel clockwise around the M25 from the M3 and you'll encounter a railway viaduct. This viaduct is slightly north of the Amersham Road, and has graffitied upon it one of the most profound statements I've ever read. It says "PEAS" in big, white and not completely unfriendly letters. I've passed under said letters many times. Now all I need to know is whether or not this really is some existentialist statement on the the condition of modern life, or if it was advertising some late 80's rave and due to job-worthiness of the local authorities no one has gotten round to clearing it off.
I've seen something like that about, except it says PIES. I forget where it is though. Maybe somebody just went about putting the parts of their favourite meal on walls. So we have pie and peas, perhaps somewhere there's MASH.
My current favourite word is: I'm starting to run out of fav. words!

in the US, if a road is being constructed and the road surface is somewhat higher than the dirt next to it, it's not uncommon to see a warning sign that says "LOW SOFT SHOULDER". i take that as a reminder to relax, let the tension out of my upper back, lower my shoulders, soften them, and smile... it's like yoga, in 3000lbs of metal and plastic.

There's a railway bridge not far from my house that proclaims in six foot letters: "I LOVE YOU DAVIDER" which always makes me smile

It's quite common for newly installed road signs in the UK to have a notice stuck to them saying "Sign not in use" which I've often thought was a bit of a paradox.

It depends when you travel - at 4:30 in the morning it's quick and easy :)

I am David, so presumably he is more David than I?

I travel that way quite a bit and it always makes me smile - I hope it never gets removed :-)
