Amusing signs #1



"A dirty place to live"

After living in Scotland for just over a year I picked up some choice phrases, some of which I still use, mostly when sharing in-jokes with Vince (who is kindly modelling the street sign above).

For those of you who haven't lived in Scotland and don't know any Scottish slang the word mauchit (as it is normally spelled) means dirty, grubby, filthy etc.

Should you wish to visit this beautiful street Mockett Drive is in St Peters, Broadstairs, Kent.
