Off topic - but this could feature in the Bad Drivers thread looking at the Virtus overtaking the truck from the left most lane / kerb?

Could be that lady "slogan writer" who is helping out Mumbai Police with those witty comments that Mumbai police post on their SM accounts.

Btw, even BRO has some good, catchy lines.

Ah the immortal inimitable Wodehouse. Nearly 50 years since he passed and still he continues to delight us!

I love what Evelyn Waugh wrote about PGW. He will continue to release future generations from a captivity more irksome than our own.

This could actually be the handiwork of Aarna & Maya.

Legal or not, they very clearly don't want you to take a U TRUN.

Could we ask for anything more ironic?

How do you stick a bell on a wall? Pics of Quirky signs, captions & boards-img_20220730_094914.jpg

The message could perhaps be that unless we plant more trees we can't cut more trees.

Clever indeed!
