Challenge 1028: Roebuck to Roaring Meg
I was driving past the town of Stevenage last weekend when I came across this curious road sign. Who or what are Roebuck and Roaring Meg? And why is a police presence required to separate them? I think we should be told.  |

Was Mr Caplin alluding to this?

Oh very apt Michael! Shouldn't the police sign and Trump's be the same direction? _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Hopefully I can think of something less dull in the week to come.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Roaring Meg, One of my favourite places to stop on this road.

I wondered if you would bring up this one. I knew nothing about it until I discovered it while researching for this challenge. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1028: Roebuck to Roaring Meg
I have to say, as someone who has spent far more time than is healthy in Stevenage Police Station, I don’t recall ever seeing this sign. By the way, before anyone gets the wrong impression, my penultimate work contract was with Cambridge, Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire Police, so not in a bad boy way! I have, however, spent time in quite a few Cat A & B Prisons around the country. |

'BUSTED'! Poor Meg, sometimes a working girl just can't catch a break.

Re: Challenge 1028: Roebuck to Roaring Meg
What a strange term... "Roaring Meg". Research has provided rivers, rock bands, canons, beer, and a number of others. Apparently just about anything can be called "Roaring Meg".

Re: Challenge 1028: Roebuck to Roaring Meg
This is not an entry (that would be cheating), but I was a little stuck for ideas, so I asked Chat GPT for an image of Meghan Markle Roaring like a lion, and this is what it came back with!  |

I made this Saturday while trying to think of something more appropriate, wasn’t going to use it, but then decided that a good moose shouldn’t go to waste.
