@_benui they have to make signs for places like this out of stone rather than normal metal-on-a-pole because people kept nicking them.

@_benui The great thing about that sign is it was commissioned because people kept nicking the old one.

@BigTheDave even better in my opinion is the local residents insisting that it's pronounced "sitterton"

@_benui Oh that's the least weird pronunciation in the UK

There's even a wiki page for it
