Happy New Year Everyone, this is Somerset calling!
I have been contacted by a highways colleague who has been asked by a local councillor if the term 'Thankful Village' can be added to a local village place sign.
I'm sure you are all aware that a 'Thankful Village' is one that had no fatalities in the First World War (though whether this means people born in the village or just resident at the time I'm unsure) and we have about five in Somerset.
I am curious to know whether this term has been commemorated on any other recent place name signs, roadside stones etc elsewhere in the country.
Also, with regards to charging, I'd like to suggest a dental/doctor type system of charging people for time wasted when they do not turn up for HER appointments!
Regards,
Talya
