A couple of road painters maybe should have taken their time - spelling the word 'SLOW' on the tarmac.
Local observer Kim Cooper-Grindley was amused to see the warning spelled backwards on a street in Penge, south London.

00:00 He's just worked out.
00:03 What has he done?
00:10 He's just scratched his head.
00:13 He's just... Oh dear, I've got to go.
00:15 Bromley Council.
00:24 Road painting part two.
00:27 I think he's just having a fag and I think he's just realised that it doesn't actually make sense
00:33 from either way. We're standing up here just trying to work out...
00:38 I don't know. He doesn't even say...
00:42 He's got the S, so if you're coming from that way, just the S is round the wrong way, isn't it?
00:49 You're looking in your mirror.
00:50 Yeah, so yeah, but why would you need to know to go slow looking in your rear view mirror?
00:55 You've already passed. I think...
00:58 It's just the S, isn't it? It's just the S is the wrong way.
01:01 No.
01:02 It is if you're coming from this way.
01:05 If you're coming from this way, the second letter doesn't say L, does it?
01:12 That said that...
01:14 If you're coming down the road.
01:16 Yeah.
01:16 If he changed the L...
01:18 Why is he taking pictures of it?
01:24 To prove that he's taken the wrong...
01:25 That he's done it all wrong.
01:27 Oh, come on, we've got to tell him.
01:31 Slow. I can't see it in this mirror.
01:35 Maybe he's using her makeup mirror to see if it makes sense looking at it in a mirror.
01:42 Slow. No, it doesn't.
01:44 We can tell you that. The mirror image is...
01:48 No, I just thought they were being clever.
01:50 Shlong.
01:50 Shlong.
01:52 Shlong.
01:53 Maybe he's...
01:54 Oh, maybe. Yeah.
01:55 Shlong. Shalom. Shlong.
01:59 Oh, he's still having another check. It's still wrong, mate. It's still not right.
02:05 Oh, bless.
02:05 And off they go. Thank you. Thank you, Bromley.
