Goodbye David Bowie, you weird and beautiful alien robot sex-hologram from the future.
Citizen, remain vigilant

Nobody enjoys a good pavement sign more than myself, so when herself and I came across this humourous curiosity whilst out for a walk on Saturday, I had to take a picture to share. Enjoy.
