Having said before that the subject has never really interested me before, there has always been one thing which irritates me whenever I encounter it - signposts to "Tesco superstore" along side thing such as "parish centre", "Battenhall" and "town centre" on traffic free cycle routes in St Peters and Warndon Villages in Worcester. After an interesting conversation on the subject I have learned that this seemingly officially recognized advertising is not the council taking money from shops in return for officially signposting them, but what is more likely is that when Tesco applied for planning permission to the council to build their stores, the council would have requested Tesco to fund or partly fund the building of a new network of cycle routs through the surrounding area, in an attempt to combat the increase in traffic levels caused by the presence of the supermarkets. This would undoubtably give them some influence on the signposting on these new routes. Therefore, the seemingly official advertising that has very effwctive placement for anyone not entirely familiar with their surroundings is more of a byproduct of the positive byproduct (traffic-free cycleways) of the supermarkets, if that makes any sense at all.
That's all really off topic mow I think about it. More on topic to the subject of this post is here. Anyone interested in giving me a hand with this? I think I have a very goof central Worcester location which should work for this. This won't make any sense if your reading this soon after I've posted it with no link above. I'm not going to go into much detail about this as 1. I have already written too much on this topic 2. I'm stuck with a tiny Blackberry keyboard which keeps writing thinmgs likew thjis and 3. I would be just repeating information that somebody else has informed the world about.
