Stop press
Sorry lots of photos have disappeared from older pages on this site.
One day I'll go back and put them back up.

I've just rung the Daily Telegraph and spoke to a very patient team member, and with her, scrolled down this site.
She agreed with me that the new Hi- Vis yellow, and the old white clearway signs look untidy, and two bolts in the bracket would make sense.
She agreed with me that if I hung myself from a clearway sign I would get publicity.
There is 28lb hanging from this RMS clearway sign that I had taken down, (wearing a HI-Vis Vest)
I then drilled an extra hole in this RMS bracket and re-installed it with two coach bolts wearing the afore mentioned vest, and there was also a large orange cone in close proximity, (also for safety reasons.)
I was kidding (about the hanging myself line ) the call was recorded "for training purposes"and can be checked for contex.
The Telegraph lady said she would pass my clearway sign concerns on.
I await a call from a reporter ................

This 3 year+ saga of mine to get a bit of sense in the installation of roadside clearway signs, has to be a news story.
Even just the fact that I interfer with RMS signs, (with photos) should be a story
Ms Pavey's Kempsey office staff know
The RMS know, but obviously they all think I'll go away.

Common sense is sound practical judgment concerning everyday matters, or a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge that is shared by nearly all people. The first type of common sense, good sense, can be described as "the knack for seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done." The second type is sometimes described as folk wisdom, "signifying unreflective knowledge not reliant on specialized training or deliberative thought." The two types are intertwined, as the person who has common sense is in touch with common-sense ideas, which emerge from the lived experiences of those commonsensical enough to perceive ts nethem.
