I'm not suggesting that. but quite a lot of old / obsolete fall into the manky catagory and members like to post a bit of both. So your original post came across as a little flippant to me with the insinuation that a lot of images posted here are not welcome or interesting.

Re: Manky Signs
Ooops, posted in wrong thread.
What do tourist brown signs look like when they are 35-ish years old?

Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.

Saw this in a car park in Yeovil.
A very odd sign, which says

Re: Manky Signs
IMHO "manky" can encompass many things including dirty, faded, discoloured and worn.
Wyaston has a satisfying combination of all of those.

One that I posted quite a while ago as a Streetview link but have managed to take a photo, showing it's still there in all its manky gloriousness:

Re: Manky Signs
This one is just down the road from the sign in my previous photo and has been posted by someone else but I thought it's always worth keeping an eye on what's still about:

Re: Manky Signs
A nice display of mank in Tideswell, and not terribly useful either, but does have a fine statue to guard it.
Re: Manky Signs
Speaking of brown tourist signs, I saw this one recently - the sign doesn't look old at all apart from the brown patch!

Re: Manky Signs
This one that I pass regularly is in the "too many modifications" category of mankiness. It's reached a point where it's getting hard to work out which blocks of text belong together and which words belong to which phrases.

Re: Manky Signs
Clean new sign for the side road, so why weren't the dirty browning signs to Bakewell and Monyash replaced as well?
