“A1 Security”, Norwich: traffic cops

2 Comments Posted by on August 30, 2012

“A1 Security Protecting the Community Norwich” burglar alarm, Norwich • This piece of DIY heraldry conjures up the police force with its badge, checkers, and ribband reading “Protecting the community”. But they’re obviously not traffic cops, as the A1 – aka Britain’s longest numbered road – doesn’t go anywhere near Norwich. A name chosen to rise to the top of the phone directory, then. • Spotted: Town centre, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1, England, 2007 • Politics: In the Liberal Democrat constituency of Norwich South

    I was going to say obviously a DIY install judging by the downhill hole\rain tunnelling tube but then noticed it is replacing a hex. Poor show!
