The signs I love are the ones that try and persuade you you're in a
village. "Welcome to Southgate Village" or whatever. As if some tacky
sign is going to make you see green fields and a rustic leaning on his
pitchfork with maybe some fluffy gamboling sheep running around ,
instead of some traffic snarled , polluted suburb. Who do they think
they're kidding?
