Scottish sheep don't eat English grass.
In my rural area they'll stop plowing the snow in the middle of the road if it crosses a township line.
I used to live in an area where the southbound lanes were owned by one city and the northbound lanes were the other. During the winter, getting to work going south was easy. Getting home was another story. Drove me insane.
Stuff like this is really common in the States, too. In my state, counties take care of their own roads (outside of interstate highways), and it can be really obvious where the county line is, especially if you're traveling between counties with vastly different socio-economic demographics.
Especially in places where cities/counties have adjacent jurisdictions. It's one of the subtle-until-pointed-out signs of the pervasive US urban decay caused by building out more (especially road) infrastructure than an authority can afford to maintain.
Read a bunch of Strong Towns materials and you become very not-fun in the passenger seat of a car.
I mean, that's how jurisdiction works. I bet they're on different schedules and next week the other side will be mowed and look better. But it's a funny picture.
The Scots were considerate though, mowing the additional foot or two on England's side.
Perhaps England should reconsider their "Rebellious Scots to crush" mentality given the friendly overture from such a gesture.
More like moved their sign a few ft away from that unkempt lawn on the other side
Every few weeks England moves the sign two feet further.
Gonna lead to some very surprised fish eventually!
Looks to me like a Scottish incursion
they went a little over
