I'd seen this one in the skip which is behind this wall, but it looked too boring. A day or so later I found it out of the skip. Much better.

whenever I force my flea it hits the road

I'm sure that's the explanation.

Maybe it's because I upgraded my Firefox today, it's got more sophis.

Sleepeasy commented on 07.10.07
So why does it underline programme in a squiggly red line, but not program?

Smart Set commented on 07.10.07
There is no spellchecker on the comment boxes, just a spam 'n' swearing filter.

Sleepeasy commented on 07.10.07
O my Gawd there's spell check on these comment boxes now! But it gets it wrong. It's candour, not candor, and honour, not honor. Tsk.

Sleepeasy commented on 07.10.07
I admire your candour but not your timekeeping.

OK, it's time to confess - I altered the sign. Some amusing comments here, so it was all worth it. It should read Florence Road.

I'm just thinking of the times this street's residents have to give their address over the phone. "That's Flea Force....two words, yes....flea...F-L-E-A, you know, like the nasty bug...yeah, flea. Then force, F-O-R-C-E...., yeah, like Airforce without the air...two words...no TWO words, not one word. FLEA FORCE, two words." Must make them want to move.

I don't know. I have a book on the origin of Acton's street names, but not Ealing's.

Rebecca commented on 11.05.05
That one really does look made up though. What could have made them to name a road that?

Smart Set commented on 11.05.05
I suppose it is, but then Britain has many absurd street and place names. We get used to them.

Seems a rather absurd road name, not to mention you like to keep the other Actonians off your track.

Smart Set commented on 11.05.05
Why do you say that, Dan?

That a SS sign?
