Hi All!

I'm guessing this is where I can place this thread!

Over the last few weeks and next few days, George Square in Glasgow, Scotland, UK has been transformed into Philadelphia for the filming of a new film starring Brad Pitt.

Obviously - we will all spot the errors here...
My pics are here if anyone wants to view them.

Just looked through the pictures (and sent a friend request) -- what are those vehicle signals they're using? They look like some sort of old Euro-style head, painted yellow, with really strange visors. But yet they found a whole bunch of Marbelite and Winko peds...:Phil:

Nor are guy-wire mast arms. I will give them an A for effort though, what with the painted yellow signals and Philly style hexagonal street blade signs (the Clearview however is a turn off).

Anyone know the significance of that big rock island....eh Malcolm????

I like the sign that warns you about attempting to balance the rear wheels of your car over the cliff!

Note to Jay.....they won't return it!
