Walk the dinosaur
I just wanted to share a little bit of image dyslexia I suffered from with the old Bull Ring. When I saw the sign on the over-road bit, I didn’t think ‘bull’.
I always thought it was a diplopocus, a big dinosaur. The bull’s tail was the huge herbivore’s head, I just didn’t make the connection between the “Bull Ring” and a pic/statue of a bull. I eventually realised, but like when I originally read “ROFL” as “ROLF” it’s not really possible to change it in my mind.
Now the sign has gone of course, I can’t readjust my head.
