Sign Of The Times of the Day: "uoʇɹǝppɐɥɔ oʇ ǝɯoɔlǝʍ" read the sign greeting residents and vistors entering the Greater Manchester town.

It was accidentally intalled upside down by council workers who apparently weren't paying very close attention. A spokesman for the council apologized, saying "a genuine error was made by staff."

It has since been fixed.
