Yes I miss them too, but always a sign telling you where the next MacDonalds is

Because a sign saying 65 or 70 miles TO Sheffield or Rotherham would depress the shit out of motorists and make them suicidal..Whereas signs saying 65 or 70 miles FROM Sheffield or Rotherham would be almost orgasmic.

But they'd have to be from Sheffield or Rotherham, so what could possibly be the problem?

Of course it has. Hence my post
