Gabion Baskets

Weird

I came across this sign in Burford when we were in the Cotswolds:



On the one hand, you probably can be proud of a district that isn't afraid to refer to gabion baskets, implying as it does that the local population is so well-educated that most residents know what these are.

On the other hand, you might want to temper this when delivered by a sign with random capitalisation and no punctuation, ending in a noun-phrase slogan as if it were a sentence and terminating unnecessarily with a preposition.

The gabion baskets lined a stream, by the way, and you pretty well had to stand on top of them before you could actually see them.
