I can read perfectly well. I can read the latitude and longitude that
you provided and plot them on a map.

The position that you attempted to give turned out to be what looks like
a council house at the end of a cul-de-sac, not a sign.

Is that a reminder to yourself?

I wrote

"I nominate a sign at Junction 24 of the M62 on the A629 from
Huddersfield.

It is so old and faded and not illuminated at night."

The coordinates are approximate from Google Earth.

Hence only 14 decimal places?

It'd be much easier for him to say "I don't know how co-ordinates work",
but that's far too much to hope for...

Indeed you did and then you gave coordinates to 14 decimal places. Of
course you were too stupid to realise that both coordinates need to be
qualified to indicate if they east or west of the meridian and north or
south of the equator. However since it seems unlikely that you were
referring to a sign in the Southern Ocean or North Sea we can narrow it
down a bit.

And the coordinates you gave were for a place that is approximately a
mile away from J24.

Then someone who knows the area well pointed out that you are either
lyng through your teeth or blind.

The location you specified was a mile away from J24. That's not
"approximate", it is literally out by a mile.

Another detail which seems to have escaped your pointy little head is
that any sign on the A629 is unlikely to be anything to do with the
Highways Agency. Not that I expect anythign like accuracy, honesty, or
even intelligence to get in the way of your continuing rants against the
HA which appear to be founded entirely on yoru ignorance, inability to
drive and inability to use satnav.
