I hope you appreciate this, because I took a detour yesterday just so I could get this photo and post it here biggrin

The saddest moment of my life - vw bora was due to tick over 200k, planned everything so the odometer would read 200.00 as well as the mileage reading 200000 and I knew I would be able to pull over to get a photo.... until my missus borrowed the car without me knowing and brought it back with 200004 miles on it mad

I did get the story read out the next day on Chris Evans breakfast show though and he agreed it was grounds for divorce.

Oh that's harsh.

I almost know your pain because I'd originally planned for 123,456+123.4, but one morning I reset it from habit after filling up with about 40 miles to go. I realised almost as soon as I hit the button. banghead

I ended up with a photo of 123,456+12.3 on the second odo, which led to this unplanned mathematical coincidence because I'd reset the second odo at 123,444. smile

laugh They should have gone the whole council jobby and got the bricks running the wrong way too, to really finish it off.

reminds me of yesterday... Mrs 2CV and I were in a retail park, which is about my least favourite weekend thing to do, but we were buying a sofa so... anyway we were driving out and I was heading to a sign which was probably the biggest EXIT sign i have ever seen; even the letters were bigger than a person. She says "that's not the way out".

The wall light is the wrong way up. Or the ceiling light is upside down.

Obscure, possibly. But nothing so trivial as stuff not being perfectly symmetrical etc.
