Well, this was interesting - (to us)

Nothing earth shattering or profound here. Just something we found perplexing.

We were watching a British TV show on Netflix called "The Repair Shop." It's a reality show about this place that supposedly will fix any old thing.



MrsWd start pointing at the TV. "Look - Look!"



"Mmm, Sweatheart, it's a bald guy and woman who talks funny looking at a clock."

"NO! Look in the background. Doesn't that look familiar?"



Sumbich, for some reason a British TV show about fixing junk has a road sign hanging on the wall that came from just down the road from us here in Ohio.



We used to pass by this sign on a weekly basis. We are wondering how and why a version of it got into a repair shop in England and then onto a TV show about the shop. I can see a Rt 66, or 101, or Ventura Highway sign - they're famous. But who the hell ever heard of Rt 235 except a bunch of Ohio farmers?

I live about 20 miles from Ohio 235. It dead ends at the Maumee River where we go camping near Grand Rapids.

Probably used as wall decoration in a cafe posing as an American diner. Quite a few such places in the UK, even a chain on highways called OK Diner( actually I patronise these, to break up long journeys).

I am 9 miles west of 235. I have traveled on sections of it many times. Looks like it starts in the Dayton area heading north and terminates at the Maumee river.

The southern end dead ends into Rt 68 between Xenia and Yellow Springs.

It's a great show. That guy Steve is amazing with the clocks along with the guy who repairs music boxes.
