Surely the sheer number of spelling and grammatical errors in that ad should ward off most of the people who are just technical numpties leaving only the brain dead types to fall for the scam.


I had a work colleague who is actually fairly intelligent ask me about these the other week!

Speaking of which, I see Channel 4 has had to cancel an entire TV series about waxing your model.

Looks like they've finally figured where the line is.

Hah!

I was looking at those signs you say don't exist on the Great Ouse bridge this week.

I'll have a look again on Monday.

Your job may be made more difficult because at this time they simply read M62 West/East and something else I forget about. When the bridge is closed they flip over to read "Closed to High Sided Vehicles follow (square)" or in the worst case "Bridge Closed follow (square)".

You can spot that they are not a standard sign because they are divided into rotating planks.

OK, I'll look again. I had been looking for rotating signs as well as that's what I'd assumed they'd turned them into.

Two on the Western side of the bridge, one on the East. I don't know why there's this difference. I questioned the maintenance contractors and they say that for a time the signs had to be rotated by hand, but now they are operated remotely. I'm not sure when this change happened, AFAIR on the day in question they had to be set manually which took an hour to achieve (someone has to drive there from the nearest depot) on Friday they were definitely capable of being operated from Wakefield.

I assume the Eastbound ones are between J35 and J36?
