Isn't the sign for a railroad crossing in the US an X? It's what we would call a level crossing and Canadians use a combination of British English and American English, so is it one close to the border between the US and Canada that has the different names each side?

Is it more the lack of an X? An example is in Wales, because X isn't in the Welsh language. Even if the Anglicised versions of the place names are similar, anyone who doesn't know could think that it is a completely different place. The easiest example I can think of at the moment is that Wrexham is Wrecsam in Welsh.
An Italian football manager trying to print out the team sheet if he has a player with X in his name (Xavier etc), or printing out the match programme for a game against Ajax, because X doesn't appear in the Italian alphabet ?
Or, alternatively, a giant X is used in aviation and marks a runway as being closed for airports operating at night ?

Could this be the traffic sign you see in France, a X on a yellow background, that means you have priority over traffic joining from the right? If it is a X with a line through it it means the opposite. It all goes back to the days when all traffic joining a road from the right had priority. Some drivers don't quite seem to have caught up with the idea yet.

Forget this post as the yellow sign doesn't have a X on it.

You got it... When to see a sign like that a a little road is joining the road you are on.. You have to watch out!Could this be the traffic sign you see in France, a X on a yellow background, that means you have priority over traffic joining from the right?

Not sure that I did, but know that tee junctions are not shown as such here, but just X road signs.
So a new question. A former record signing is now coaching in Cheshire. Who is he and which club will you find him at? This shouldn't be too difficult
Nathan Ellington is the assistant player manager at Egerton FC, which is somewhere near Knutsford I believe.
That is the gent cologne.
I wonder if he still employs his own pie maker to follow him around? 
The meat pies in Cheshire have something of a reputation which explains everythingThat is the gent cologne.
My question: Which region of Europe has the joint highest number of centenarians per 100,000 population in the World - a record shared with Okinawa in Japan ?
Nope, sorry Bodbo - this is a real region of Europe. It was the first region to be classified as a 'Blue Zone' in the entire World.
