I noticed the other day that there is a new London Cycle Network sign at the Waterloo Road exit from Waterloo station. Unfortunately it directs people to the 'Southbank'.
The tendency to write South Bank as one word drive me mad (silly, I realise), and I just know that every time I pass by the sign (a couple of times a week at least) it will really irritate me!

I'd always imagined that signs were made by hooking up some sort of desktop design package to a big sign printing m/c. And I'd always imagined that a spellcheck function would be included as an essential tool.
If you continue to make posts of such crashing snobbery, you will be tried by the people's collective, found guilty of having a taste for walnut chippendale and old chintz, and condemned to hard labour shelf-stacking the aisles of Ikea!
