I'm sorry to go on about the bad use of English, but I had to show you this one. It's not that the incorrect spelling and grammar are any surprise generally, BUT this sign was spotted in Frinton! AND, it was INSIDE the gates!For anyone who doesn't know about Frinton, it is a kind of independent republic in Essex, bounded by the North Sea on one side and the railway on the other. The only way in is via "the gates", that is the level crossing gates. Actually there are two other ways into Frinton, but I'm not able to disclose them. The level crossing actually consists of two gates, and a man comes out and closes them (or opens them, depending on whether you are in a car or a train).
However, Network Rail wants to replace them with one of those new-fangled things with barriers that come down. But be afraid Network Rail, be very afraid! You are up against the might of Frinton residents! They are holding a demonstration this Saturday. I can just see lines of riot police up against serried ranks of mobility scooters! My advice to the police is, don't worry about water canon or CS gas, just set up some loudspeakers and blast them with some garage. That should disperse them pretty quickly!
