It seems incredible to me that their isn't a key to their symbols on their website. I recognise some of them. 1. Long term urinal. 2. Mating season approaching. 5. Very localised rain expected. 6. Erectile dysfunction clinic. 7. Dustbins over-full, do not use. 8. Fred Locks' private mooring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
