...of changing the town signs around for Ashbourne, Bakewell and Buxton...

According to Radio Derby (the highlight of my drive into work ) someone has put a Buxton sign up in place of the Ashbourne sign on the main road into Ashbourne, a Bakewell sign at Buxton and an Asbourne sign up in Bakewell.

There will be violence on the streets of Buxton and old people try to find the Bakewell Pudding Shop...

April Fools high jinx I've no doubt...

Cheers

Go on, your telling me you Derbyshire folk can't find your way around any more! Keep finding yourselves in the wrong town cos the signs pointed you there. None Derbyshire folk don't mind. Buxton, Ashborne, Backwell, all the same to us.

Yes OK apologies in advance, I may live elsewhere now but I was born and lived in Chapel-en-le-frith and I like the place really.

The sign swap is a bit of a tradition and is done every year.

Is it always the same area...

Bet they daren't swap the signs for Peartree, Sinfin and Chad, far too much 'time exposed to danger'...

I lived in Derby for years before I realised it wasn't called Peartree-yer-C@*t

Arrrr Sinfin, what a lovely place
I used to refuse to go there on business if I couldn't take a pool car or had advance notice to park on site (Rolls Royce Derby) after one day I came back to the off site carpark and found kids from the primary school opposite lunching stones over the fence from the school playground into the car park

They breed them tough in Sinfin. Appartently they used to wipe their arses on half a milk bottle, which, incidently, is where Willy Whitelaw got the idea for the short sharp shock.

Peartree is a bit posher by comparison. In Peartree they get out of the bath to have a p155...
