I'd never seen it at all in the UK. Might just be me though 🙂

@davescm maybe it's just a North American brand...I guess. It didn't get far enough to go international.

Very good Alan. That definitely put a smile on my face. It's also reassuring that if any of us do visit the Moon, we won't be getting lost.

Of course, Dave, you are right.

More astonishingly, the milestone says quite litterally that if you go that way as far as Edinburgh, you can be in London after just one more mile.

The subtle change to this old beloved milestone reflects the outcome of the notorious battle of Halfway Lane which is now only connected to the new roundabout, and it is both renamed and renumbered (clockwise).

The defeated residents only succeeded in dissuading the highway authority from the suffix Close, but failed in obtaining the telling name Halfway Dead End Lane, Lane being restricted to thoroughfares.

As a comic relief they talked about changing the name of the country to Small Britain (SB instead of GB), but settled on Undersized Kingdom as a new unabbreviation of UK.
