UK Trip Blog #55: Contraventions and Phone Booths


No Parking Contraventions Allowed in Windsor
One thing we enjoyed doing was finding words that we've never heard of, and "Contraventions" was one of them.
CONTRAVENTIONS -  We learned about it because we came across a big yellow sign, so we took a picture of it.
  A Contravention is basically an action that violates a law, treaty, or other ruling. But the sign we came across was all about how people would commit one in a variety of ways pertaining to parking. They take their parking very seriously in Windsor!
   WACKY PHONE BOOTHS - Across from Windsor Castle was a piece of artwork in the shape of a phonebooth. On each side was a painting of the Royal family that appeared to be using the phone in the booth. It was a fun and wacky tourist attraction that we just HAD to take pictures of with each of us.
