Not far away is this Post Office Telegraphs cover, there's quite a few of these. No idea if they're unusual.

there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

BLAKEY wrote: A wonderful collection of real nostalgia there Cardi - these items are absolute gems. There are the burnt and peeling remains of a painted lintel in Kirkgate, over the former passageway which led to Wallace Arnold's coach station.    It reads "ROXBY CAFE" and by Jove you got lovely dinners in there, waitress served by two splendid ladies and prepared in the tiniest litchen you can imagine. Unfortunately this has been painted over. It's still on street view so if anybody more competent than me knows how can they grab the picture and paste it here please do so.
