Has anyone noticed the error at the new roundabout on the Perry Rise/Mayow Road junction. At 3 of the pedestrian crossing areas, painted on the road are the words 'LOOK LEFT', but the arrows point to the RIGHT!! Hope non english speaking pedestians don't try and cross the road when it's busy!!

Anyone else got any examples of incorrect or amusing signs/notices in Forest Hill?

well spotted Andy but the new roundabout is on the PERRY VALE/Mayow Road junction.

That was my deliberate error to get this error spotting thing started (if you believe that you'll believe anything!)

According to recent messages the signs for both the Moor Park Tavern pub and the Crystal Palace high level railway line are all missing. My guess is that this is causing significant problems for those in Forest Hill's posh estate. Perhaps other correspondents could confirm if the missing info is available via the sat-nav systems on school-run 4x4s?

And in a similar vein I'm unable to locate the bar-billiards table in the Dartmouth Arms public house. Sadly I suspect no chance of a sat-nav result here. Does anybody know if these tables are fitted with electronic tracker devices?

Not sure if the bar billiards tables are traceable, unless they turn up on "Bargain Hunt" or "Krap in the Attic". Rumour has it they are to be replaced by a gastro-crazy-golf course.
