Road users! Here’s a message for you from the people of Horsford in Norfolk:

Stop driving like dicks and follow the diversion.

And here, we’ve made a sign for you in simple language you may be able to understand.

Eastern Daily Press: Villagers have had enough of drivers ignoring official diversion and road closed signs, make their own

But if this picture proves anything, it’s that their efforts have been – so far – unsuccessful.

And this is why we can’t have nice things.That and voting actual Nazis in to high office, and generally being terrible people. Shagging and killing nice things. That too.

All told, it appears that driving is an ultimately confusing affair for many people.

Essex Chronicle: Driver claims to be confused by late-night diversions

Good quality head-scratching and pointing. Otherwise I might not have known what this story is about.

But here comes a revelation from Highways England: “The diversions don’t have to be followed, they’re not compulsory, but they are there for motorists who are not familiar with the area.”

Mind. Blown.

Wales Online: Man puts up his own road signs to stop tourists looking for a mining museum coming down his street

Smock. Check.

Beret. Check.

Neckerchief arrangement. Check.

Superbly realised signage in the style of noted French artist Paul Cézanne, who was particularly good as doing satellites. Check.

Using my finely-honed Holmesian Deduction techniques, you are probably an artist, or a Frenchman. Or a French artist. Called Nigel.

(And probably the first road sign ever to be based on the Ann Summers Rampant Rabbit. Whatever that is.)
