Default Falling or fallen trees?

I've a good mind to phone this guy up and say, "If you can come round in the next two seconds, there's an oak tree falling into my garden."

New York state does the same thing with road signs: "Watch for falling
rocks."

Yup, look up, not at the road ahead where there might be FALLEN
rocks....

This reminds me of the sign, Man opening Umbrella we all used to see.

It was supposed to depeict a person digging a pile of sand or something.
Should I start a company to fit air bags to unsafe treees?

Yes but I;d have thought any drive would be watching the road to see if anyhting in front of him need avioding actual whether rocks that have fell or cars in front.

What people might not know is that rocks could still be falling.

Then again falling could be some sort of word do indicate the onset of autumn. ;-)


But you can't avoid falling rocks, so there's no point in telling you about them, unless you want to turn back and not drive along that road?

P.S. despite him mentioning New York, you deleted the alt.home.repair group, so he won't see your reply. Doh!

My cousin referred to it as "man wrestling with umbrella".

The woman who designed those admits it looked daft, on an episode of Top Gear. Margaret Calvert - she also pioneered using lower case Ariel font on road signs, making them so much easier to read than say French roadsigns which are still all in capitals.

Apologies for the video clip I'm posting, I know you can't see it: https://youtu.be/pyBrrmDw6-k
