Just as bad are when the signs in the city tell me there has been an accident ahead - about 70 miles away, and at least 6 overhead signs outside of the city away.

I think it is/was much more common to see roadside shrines on the Continent than in the UK. I can't recall ever seeing any in the UK before we moved...but I have seen one or two in recent years.

I wish I had a job. I wouldn't have so much time to get wound up by morons.

There's one near us and they have this photo up. Without meaning to be harsh, it looks like it was taken after the guy's accident
Flowers are changed once or twice a week which strikes me as slight overkill and the point the people have to park is on a steep blind corner. ****wits in my extremely humble opinion.

Anyway, I am creeped out by the cemetery I pass every day which had one now two graves that are lit.

Not on the roads I drive. Everyone slows down by at least 10mph to read a sign that says "Wear your seatbelt - extra checks at night". How hard is it to read that? Backs the road up for miles for some reason.
Just as bad are when the signs in the city tell me there has been an accident ahead - about 70 miles away, and at least 6 overhead signs outside of the city away.

Lit??? With what kind of lights? Come to think of it, seems to me there were some solar lantern-like things on graves in the cemetery in Southampton when we went for BIL's funeral. Because it was daylight, they weren't lit, but I imagine the glow from them at night would be a little creepy. Many of the gravesites had bits of whimzy decorating them - one had a sculpture of a dog taking a whizz, another had a Co-Op grocery bag tied to a stake, others had whirlygigs, another a whiskey bottle - really, all manner of things. Can you imagine that sort of thing on American graves or solar lanterns at the roadside memorials? OMG! ![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
