If not, than the council must order whoever placed the signs to remove them from the poles which are the council’s property.

BTW, “Qanfud” has sexual connotations like “beaver” does in the English language.

Was it the brainchild of the ‘bos’ sign department you had featured here?

Perhaps the person who drove into it was laughing so hard at the sign’s stupidity that s/he lost control of the car.

Well, well. Tsk, tsk Mr Central Government. But, meanwhile, we would have done nothing about it unless somebody took a photo and sent it to Daphne.
