JennyMorgan Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 It is a fact that the Authority has announced plans for new signs costing thousands of pounds in the coming year. In an attempt to become more 'local' a new style of speed control sign has been approved. Will 'furriners' understand it or do only locals speed? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Please don't encourage the BA... can you imagine the toll rises next year if they have to replace every sign... (and pay the most expensive tender to do it). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 ... and any new signs will have to be much bigger to get "...member of the national parks family" across the bottom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 ... and any new signs will have to be much bigger to get "...member of the national parks family" across the bottom! If only. The new signs won't of course say that though will they? Nope, on present form they will proudly display to the world - 'National Park' and conveniently omit 'A member of' or 'It's not really a National Park' or 'We were just kidding' or 'If we call it a National Park, I'll get my knighthood' I can see 'B.A' having a regular stock of large thick black permanent markers onboard at the ready, or better still some thick black aerosol under-seal Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 as long as yo dont change the signs like a local wag did to the village of Wormshill, by converting the L's into T's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking23 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 In order to reduce costs the Broads Authority are removing the Reedham Ferry, so they are now erecting new signs on each side of the river. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetAnne Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Surely that should say "Caution, Ramp Ahead, you are about to leave the Broads National Park" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 I can see new signs at Mutford Lock & Gt Yarmouth for incoming boats: Welcome to the mythical Broads National Park, please find suitable moorings before entering.

JennyMorgan Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 I'm not sure about proposals for 2018, I suspect that we are in for a raft of new ones for 2017, all proposed and seconded long ago by a committee of one. Realistically we can expect new signs for 2017 saying things like 'Caution, mooring reduction in progress' or 'Caution, litter mountain ahead'! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Perhaps souvenir shops could sell suitable overlays to go on the new signs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
