Hi, it has been a while since I last posted. In between moving house and a busy work life I have not had much time to enjoy my hobby!  I thought I would post some of my favourite signs that are waithing to be put up on the wall once again!

Have a careful look at the side of the Zebra jumping.  Spot the "Shell" lettering.  A very early advert for Shell motor spirit using some very creative advertising!

Hope you enjoy!!

Fred, if you look at the side of the zebra's body carefully you will see the letters "SHELL" in the place of black stripes. The tortoise does not have two heads, the two heads reflect the tortoises's head movement as he watches the zebra jump over him. Rather clever I think!

OK! I know it's not what the sign is supposed to show but this is a bizarre coincidence!

Unique tortoise has two heads and five legs

A tortoise has been born in Zilina, Slovakia with two heads and five legs.

 

According to zoologists, the unique case is comparable to what happens when Siamese twins are born.

The animal, which has been named Magdalena, also has two brains that work independently from each other.

But having two heads and five legs can be a burden, according to her owner Roman Gresak. He said: "The second head sometimes doesn't allow the tortoise to know where to go".

Magdalena would not be able to survive in the wild because other tortoises would exclude her from their collective.
