Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

In the lovely town of Hebden Bridge, the Visitor and Canal Centre had a lovely sign painted on one side, all beautifully-done in large writing, narrow-boat style, proclaiming it as, erm, the Hebden Bridge Visitor and Canal centre. />
All well and good, yes?
So, along comes the council who nail a municipal-looking plastic sign to the existing lovely sign. />
What did it say? ... "Hebden Bridge Visitor and Canal Centre".
The narrow-boat-writing sign has since been repainted as a mural (not as nice, but hey, not bad) but it still says Hebden Bridge Visitor and Canal Centre ... and the municipal sign was removed. />
So, along comes the council [uagain[/u who nail the same type of municipal-looking plastic sign to the mural. />
What did it say this time? ... "Hebden Bridge Visitor and Canal Centre".
The Picture House (a 1920's period gem, listed grade II) has its original carved-in-stone title PICTURE HOUSE high up and two flutteringly attractive banners alongside the lovely wood-and-glass entrance doors, both of which simply say PICTURE HOUSE. />
It has the usual glass cases outside advertising whats-on and whats-coming-soon. />
No mistaking what this building is. />
So, along comes the council who nail a municipal-looking plastic sign to the building which says "Hebden Bridge Picture House".
What kind of morons do we employ?'"
Don't you just love the fact though that they still call it a "Picture House" even on the updated plastic sign?
Bet you wouldn't get that in Milton Keynes.

Yeah.

On Thursdays, they do 11:00 morning screenings when, included in the £5 price, you get a china mug of tea and a biscuit to take in with you. />
One of these Thursdays, I'm going to give that a go myself, dodging the pensioners out on the pull. />
The good news is that it transferred from Calderdale council to local council ownership last year, so the plastic Calderdale sign has now gone!!
A local Picture House for local people. />
You'll never leave ...

Slightly related...Where I used to live the council (presumably) installed big bold new signs to inform people driving down the main road that "This is a Police enforcement area". I'm not sure how this distinguished the area from others as surely the Police enforce law and order in all areas??? The only effect I could see was to waste tax payer cash, and give a horrible big brother style message that the authorities were watching!

My favourite ones are the ones that say "No unwanted callers". How do people know if they're wanted or not without knocking on the door and asking?
