Signs

A rash of overhead gantries is appearing on the motorways of England. These provide the driver with important information like:

Think about your speed
Gorse Fox did, he drove faster,

Tiredness kills, take a break
Gorse Fox set the alarm and grabbed a Kit-kat

Time to Junction 10, 14 mins
Not now the Gorse Fox had thought about his speed it won't

And today on the M4 the Gorse Fox, blinking in the bright afternoon sun, thinking what a lovely day it was, saw:

Beware, Spray
It hadn't rained for 24 hours... the roads were bone dry.

Then finally, as he crawled along the M3 wondering why it was so slow, he espied a new gantry - Blank. Nada. As he drove past he noticed a yellow sign attached to the gantry

This Sign is not in use
Err, which one? The Sign, or the gantry? It must mean the sign itself that says "This Sign is not in use" - but then, surely, that should mean it is blank... If, of course it was referring to the gantry the word "This" should say "That" or "The Gantry".

Good job the Pedant-General wasn't there!
