Do they speak a different language in Norfolk? Yesterday I was negotiating back roads near Holt, using my OS map, and decided to avoid Glandford Ford given all the rain and flood warnings. Going a different way I saw the sign said "unbridged ford" - what's that all about? An unbridged river/stream is a ford but a bridged ford is no longer a ford!
Why use 14 letters when 4 will do?

Does it mean the road doesn't continue across the river bed and you drive on gravel, silt of the bed rather than a solid surface?

Pedestrians also use roads to get around :-)
Means "Don't proceed unless you've got your wellies on"
|
Weren't driving a Ford by any chance were you?
Then you have told Mrs Trooper, 'Sorry I'm late MrsT, but I couldn't ford the ford in the Ford, because the ford was unbridged - can't they afford to bridge that ford!

Some of the fords around here have a bridge alongside, usually small, so cars bikes etc can use the bridge and tractors etc use the ford. Could this be the expanation, ie no bridge option?
