    Is it because you don't have it written in English/Welsh/Urdu/Hebrew/Polish/Arabic/Swaheli/Martian like most public signs seem to be now?

          Ha ha, I like the last few replies. I think that what got up my nose more than anything else was the exclamation mark. You would think that a) I didn't have a sign (which I do of course) or that they'd told me before and I've ignored it.

          I like the ideas of going OTT and putting it in different languages.

            hahaha very good.

            I would go metal if someone done that to my shed and my shed is old.

            When we had our plot I knew the importance of having a number on my plot (Mainly because I didnt want someone thinking it was there plot etc) so i emailed the council and ask them to place the numbers in my shed ( I was told they supplied them) as I keep it unlocked. Anyway hubby put it up looked great then one of our neighbours who will had not meet shouted from his plot to my hubby, " Where did you get your numbers from", no hello, no welcome, no how are you. Just where did you get the numbers from!!!

            I asked a few other people on the plot who he was, worked out he is the guy who gives out the numbers to everyone and I bypassed him and went straight to the council!

              Some folk are weird aren't they lozza. the stupid thing is that my nice log with the shiny no 1 on it is at the entrance to the plot and my shed is right at the very end. the person who wrote on my shed would have had to walk past the log.

              i can only guess hat she/he had a white stick!

                I love your log, it looks great. Did you make it?

                I don't really speak to the guy to be honest, he thinks he owes the plot and tells everyone off.

                  We by-passed the bloke who gives out the key to the main-gate and we were highly unpopular because of it. Thing is, if we hadn't we'd have had to sit at the gates for hours waiting until someone was kind enough to let us on, then done this several times until we actually were there at the same time as the key-man. As a system it certainly wasn't brilliant but at the time there was a £1.50 charge for a gate key and if we bought it from him the society got to keep it whereas if we bought it straight from the council the committee never saw the money. We pacified him by buying a 'spare'.
                  Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

                    I would have done the same thing Blue moon, I would hate to be locked out and waiting for someone tolet me in.
                    Actually after th first time waiting I would be banging on the councils door demanding a key, and deal with the guy who deals with the keys later. coming between me and my plot is never a good place to be!

                      Well, there is and has been since I took the plot on 3 months ago today, a big log stood on its side with a No 1 in a chrome plate screwed to it...

                              Yet again, Gaelic has been omitted, so in order to rectify this situation , and to keep Shirl happy - "aon".
