Challenge 275: Queen's Grove
Queen's Grove is a street in Hampstead, London. The road sign has been in place for at least a hundred years, and it's clear that when it was placed here the builders had run out of the correct letters, and had to make do with odds and ends. Can you rearrange the lettering to make a phrase more appropriate to the location? Or could you just correct the missing characters? Any other embellishment you care to add would be of interest too, of course. High res is here.  |

Hello everyone, sorry it's been a long time since my last post. I needed to find a new job as a priority. I have a job now but unable to get onto my home PC so knocked this up on my portable. It's just good to be back, some fantastic entries over the past few months. Andy  |

Andy - great to see you back and congratulations on the new job. It would seem that the scrabble set in NW8 have taken it too far this time, but noboby appears to be listening.  |

When I handed my son a can of oven cleaner this afternoon and said come with me, he made every excuse under the sun as to why he couldnt..he was pleasantly surprised when he realised he didnt have to clean to oven

Oops! I've just noticed that the apostrophe is upside down - ahem - I mean I'm glad you spotted my deliberate mistake  _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

For the launch of the new holographic road sign a Mariachi Band was hired. 
This was to distract from the fact that the Council had forgotten to turn the apostrophe the correct way up
