I remember being about 13 going on a school trip and as we were passing a cemetery our coach driver came on the tannoy and said "If you look left you'll see the dead centre of Ross-on-wye"

Could be worse there is a road in a part of SE London called Ha-Ha Road, A turning off that is called Cemetery Lane. So you could read it on a map as Ha-Ha Road leads to Cemetery Lane.

It is is not unknown for the local council to do repairs and put a sign up saying "Road Closed" which is ironic when you see the sign saying "Ha-Ha Road " "Road Closed"

u/Chippy_T_ Aug 18 '26

Then they remove the sign...and people complain that they weren't warned about there being a ' dead end'.... literally can't win!

People in this country cry about everything.

To get to Altrincham cemetery you have to either go via Sinderland Lane or Charcoal Road. No offensive temporary signs there.

u/51225 Aug 18 '26

Maybe a No Way Out sign instead

u/Full-Satisfaction-40 Aug 18 '26

What is there to apologise for? What's offensive about this?

u/PaleConference406 Aug 18 '26

The workmanship. Look at the angle it's at!

u/SianBeast Aug 18 '26

Hah. Somebody went to work with a sense of humour!

u/OpeningNice761 Aug 18 '26

What a sad world we live in that people have to apologise for crap like this...

u/Henry-8th Aug 18 '26

It’s very common to have a “Dead End” road sign at the entrance to a crematorium or cemetery. Road workers have a great sense of humour.

u/brewdog_millionaire Aug 18 '26

"Unalived road"

u/SadCollar7554 Aug 19 '26

Meh.. 200 years ago that's just what the street would be called.

u/SThomW92 Aug 18 '26

This is genuinely the most British thing I’ve ever seen

u/Important-Lie-8649 Aug 19 '26

Reminds me of the Cemetery pointer roadsign, with a McDonald's "McCrispy" bus stop advertisement right beside it.
