When we are on holiday we usually go off the main road guided by brown road signs to a pub or hotel.
Can any establishment apply for a brown road sign or do they have to have some kind status.
In the past we have always been pleased with our find but the last time it was so awful and had obviously been so for some time that I was surprised that it had not been shut down
'They are not to be used as advertising and should only be provided to attractions and facilities that visitors would otherwise have difficulty finding'
So York is difficult to find?
When we had the pub we were going to get brown road signs as a way of getting cheap advertising (they are really cheap to have). Sponsoring a roundabout is ridiculously cheap too, round here you just have to buy some flowers to put on one.
