I do, for without them, the life of our great nation would grind to a halt.
But, I fail to see why I should comply with Red X. Who are they anyway?

Redex is a fuel additive. I can't say I approve of motorway signs being used for advertising.
I have a very old tatty lifejacket - apparently the only type that is useful according to the Coastguard.

Had wondered what it was all about having seen the notice on the Mway sign last fri, me thinks it is a prank by a Mway worker fiddling about with the computer.

There are places, like the Mersey Tunnels & the Aston Expressway where ignoring the Red x is as likely to cost you your life as a fine. Contra-flows are a wonderful thing when they work well. But I can see why Gaelic Rurals might choose to struggle to read Saesenach signs. On your own heads be it.
It makes more sense to me now.

Ohh, surely it is entirely & completely racist to ignore English road signs?
