Yeah...I also saw "Harringray" somewhere they other day (bonus points to anyone who can jog my memory on where it was).

Nice bit of folk etymology...

This is always a giggle from the top of the bus when it stops there.

This signage was procured with a council grant. It's pretty much at the end of my road and the Council got so fed up with my haranguing them about the abandon with which they treat our neighbourhood name that they voted through a so called 'special measures' grant to the owners of the business for them to erect business signage. There was only one condition of grant and that was the requirement to use not just one but two incorrect spellings.

That middle window is just inches away...someone must know someone who has access to that room (and a good quality marker-pen)

*NOT that I'm advocating vandalism here at all!
