Too much shafting goes on in the smoke, it seems...

Pound Lane, Sibford Gower, Oxfordshire

Yes, they are real knickers on the signpost. The ladies are mostly attracted to Classic Wee's in Blue, with Silver Frames.

Hampton Gay, Kidlington, Oxfordshire. A little hamlet where they don't own any sign cleaner.

Golden Balls Roundabout, Oxfordshire

On a Dual Carriageway and I was not going to get off the bike for this one. Pulled over, hit the photo button and off again.

Objection Upheld Mr Tall - Undoubtedly a Dodgy Place Name though.

That's why we call them Cashpoints and not a Hole in the Wall.

Also, the location is not in the UK.  :roll:

I went for a Ride around Devon today and decided that I might as well visit 2 places on the list. First up was Horwood, then Crapstone. Took in a mixture of some old favourite and new roads.

@Mep. Apologies in advance and all that but your number plate makes me chuckle.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

Brockett, am I missing something? I think you need to elaborate and explain your thoughts.
