I saw a billboard in Nottingham this morning.
They were on the M1 maxtrix boards, near East Midlands Airport, last
Wednesday night.

Spray, Slow down would have been more appropriate at the time.

Must be very new because I went up to Sheffield and back last week, and
the signs were about the spray.

They've been saying it (the Olympics crap) for a few weeks now, I don't
remember exactly how long.

Just opened my copy of the Western Gazette (our local weekly here in

during the Olympics. How widespread is such advertising?
On the M27 Motorway yesterday the information signs were displaying a
message advising people to plan their journeys to the Olympics.
My Forays on said Motorway have fortunately declined from 3 times
daily to about once every 3 months so I don't know how long this has
been happening.

You can see these things quite a long way north on the A1 and M1,
encouraging people wishing to go to the games to plan their journeys.
These are no doubt necessary because only idiots people have any
interest in the Olympics and they wouldn't think to do that normally.

I drove from Perthshire to London through the spray last week and more or
less all the way down the VM signs were telling me to plan my trip to the
Olympics.

I'm told there are also billboards to that effect in Edinburgh.

As my "last week" (above) was "the week before last" now, I think we've
pretty well nailed down when these signs started appearing.
