Someone give me a clue!
When it was still daylight I went out to put some rubbish into my bin, of all the rooms I have in my house my backyard has always been the tidiest one.
Imagine my suprise when as I lifted the wheelie bins lid I also kicked a piece of metal.
Hello I thought, that can't be right I'm no blacksmith, I don't store metal. I threw an inquisitive glance in the general direction where the scraping sound had finished.
An oblong piece of aluminium, (in case our over-seas bretheren are reading, A-L-O-O-O-M-I-N-U-M).
I reached down and grabbed the object and turned it over it had writing on the other side,
I read the words 'Countess St.'
Now I have in my very distant past arrived home with a few traffic cones and also the odd amber flashing light but I thought I had got over that habit some years ago.
o.k. so what is this and where has it come from?
I must confess I've never been tall or ambitious enough to try and get a street sign, so where is it from?
How come it ended up in my back yard?
Most importantly if you are missing a sign saying, 'Countess St.'
would you like it back and is there a reward?
If only there was some sort of clue I would return it to it's rightful owner!

Re: Someone give me a clue!
It looks like one that has been high on a wall so could a wind have dislodged it from the wall and it being al u min i um (I can't pronounce that word so have to type it very slowly.) maybe the wind whipped it up into the air and wafted it along to your backyard.

Re: Someone give me a clue!
Hey, while we all work out where it's from, take a close look at the picture and name the switches just above the sign. (competition closes as soon as I press the submit button).
