We do. I have no idea about who owns/maintains the street sign. I assumed it was us.

great thread. big fan of houses that have the street sign on it. sadly never lived in one though.

I would have agreed with you yesterday, but now I’m questioning the idea of having to allow access to my road sign.

You should replace it with one in Comic Sans.

Yes. My mum still lives there. It seems to have been fine without any maintenance since at least 1981.

I like the houses with billboards on them. Would you even need a job if your house had a billboard on it?

I’ve noticed people sell sponsorship on cars. Apparently you can earn £150-£200 a month just for letting someone put a big…Chorley FM sticker on your car doors. Seems a no-brainer unless you’re really uptight.

Lived in a block which had a street sign on it but as we were on the 10th floor and the sign was on the other side of the block at ground/first floor height I have no idea

Never understood why they don’t put adverts on the rooves of buses. Think how many people would see it from their offices in a town/city centre. You’d take more notice as well because it’s unusual.

i read that your house belongs to the queen, sorry

Have you ever lived in a house with a street/road sign on it?

Or been close to folks who have?

A friend’s parent’s flat. It was an old style one, so presume there was no maintenance for it as such, it was just left from decades ago.

Yes, once.

A friend used to have one on his place on a fairly busy road in Newcastle. I think he was getting about £200 a month from it.

I remember when all the road names round my way as a kid with the embossed letters that had been hand painted black on a white background were replaced with the ones that were laser printed on sheet aluminium. An exctiting and sad day.

Quite shocked at this care-free ignorance. Very off brand.

I used to work in the outdoor advertising game but can’t remember. Hope this helps.

There’s a house near me that has it’s own pedestrian crossing button on the driveway as it backs onto a junction

We’re on a corner where the street name plate for one street is on our (ground floor) flat and the sign for the other street is on the (first floor) flat above. 🤷

Made up some fake street name plate signs for work last week, for a photo promo thingy. Did three different designs to match the styles found in different areas of the city. The boring basic one got chosen. 🤷

Some essential bedtime reading.
