Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

The post that started it all:

Not what I read at all. Bad spacing for sure, but it reads left-right, top-bottom

Then again, this is Clarkson's Farm, he may have done that intentionally to piss off the council.

I don't think this belongs here

Why not? Insufficient space between the left and right columns?

Being the ever sarcastic, Jeremy Clarkson, it would not surprise me at all if this was done very much on purpose.
