Big badgery thanks to the person who sent me a badge with a (hand-drawn?) badger on it! Oxford postmark, so I've narrowed the suspects down a bit, but I don't recognise the handwriting...
There is, on the road between Oxfnord and Swindon, a warning sigh - 'Badgers for 2 miles'. (Exact wording not guaranteed.)
Since the next two miles comprise the built up area of the village of Stone, I'm wondering why. Perhaps they really meant 'Mental patients for 2 miles'.

Serendipitous typos: for some reason I really like the idea of a "warning sigh". :)

As for the mental patients - I dunno, but it's the thing for which I know Stone. My father spent a while there.
Urban foxes - yes. Urban hedgehogs - well, we nearly ran over one on our street the other day. But I've never heard of urban badgers.
