Hi,

I received an email yesterday, accompanied by this photo of a road sign.



It was bought, for a few bob, off ebay, but the buyer knows nothing of its history. I've not seen one like it before, and I wonder if it's from mainland Europe rather than G.B., can anyone shed light on it?

thanks, R

Hi
It is definitely not the UK No Pedestrians, some where I have an Australian and also an old French HC reprint, so will check later.

Maybe that's why so many pedestrians are being killed/injured, they are looking at the wrong things,cheers,JD.
