When I moved to the Nantwich area in the mid-'80s, when things were a bit iffy, I thought that at least I am in a nice rural area that won't be of any interest to the Russians.   Little did I know that there was a nuclear bunker just outside the town that was set up to be the seat of regional government in the event of nuclear war.  Fully operational into the '90s I believe.  They might have thought it was secret, but I bet there was a Russian ICBM with its location programmed in.

There's an even more explicit "Secret Nuclear Bunker" sign on one of the motorways, can't remember where but I bet the Russians can...

Interesting sign erected by the EA on or village bridge crossing the river Hundred the first is what you see from the road.

the second is what you see when you hang out over the handrail risking falling in.

On the other hand, a village in Austria has got sick of people photographing its sign, and is changing its name:

"Sometimes striking lascivious poses for social media".

Oh go on, you're kidding.

 

We all like to take the mick out of the Graun, but that's a very good little piece of reporting.
