This is Julian.

Julian is very tall, and three years ago head banged his head on a road sign.

Most people would put this down to experience, but Julian knows that road signs should be installed at a minimum height so people don’t go around banging their heads, and would like Wandsworth Council to apologise.

Wandsworth Council are being dicks about it, so Julian has made it his mission to measure all the road signs in the borough and make damn sure the council get to hear about it.

If you have a thing for photographs of angry middle-aged men wielding a tape measure in public, then it is your lucky day as there are no less than 17 such shots if you click through this instant.

Here’s what you’re missing out on.

According to the council’s insurers: “The reason the sign was lower at the time of your incident was due to a water leak in the area causing the sign to sink.”

Uh-huh.

But there’s a line between a mission and being a pain in the arse, and there’s a question as to whether this has been crossed. To quote Julian himself:

“This has been very stressful for me and has wasted many other agencies time including two MPs, Thames Water, Council for Water, OFWAT, Met Police, Health and Safety Executive, Local Ombudsman and Transport for London.”

Exactly.

Perhaps he could move somewhere where the signs are all hunky dory?

Who – we ask – will save Hethersett from this heritage sign outrage?

Not there then.
