Confusing Leominster sign suggests ability to time travel

The roadworks sign, put up by Herefordshire Council’s roads contractor Balfour Beatty Living Places, is advertising an overnight road closure in West Street in Leominster, which was due to start last night. (Monday, November 14)

However, Rhi Pugh's picture shows a clear mistake with the dates. She posted the photograph along with the caption, "Does anyone else see something wrong with this sign?"
