    On the drive from LA to Vegas we passed a sign pointing to ZZYZZX ROAD. Ended up asking a taxi driver in Vegas how to pronounce it properly - 'zizzix' is what he said. Good job it wasn't a Welsh road though - LLYLLX anyone? Just a thought!

    (Ex) wife took a picture of me next to a sign in UK but can't recall exactly where it is.

    Sign read "Twatt"

    Maybe it was an omen?

    Edit; it's in the Orkneys. We'd gone to John O Groats on a Kawasaki GT 750 and decided to hop across.
