       The giant red SUV really took me out from the movie being set in England. Having been on country side roads here that thing wouldn’t fit anywhere. The neon sign on the police station was a wild choice too.

       @Gargron The neon signs are a background joke, I think. There's a shop in the village that sells neon signs, with a discount for local businesses. Almost all the shops had one.

       @Gargron did you notice the setup for the neon signs? There was a background gag about a neon sign maker with huge discounts for locals

       @Gargron seems to be set in the same England as Babe the sheep pig. Also, why a holding cell in a village cop shop manned by one cop in a security guard outfit, and what the heck "postal service" not Royal Mail?

       @Gargron the neon sign, I think, was a background visual gag from earlier where there was a shop selling neon signs in the town.

       @Gargron it actually was filmed in England I believe tho - but yes the red truck threw me too, never see those here - also the uniform and car of the village officer was weird (the other police were fine) and my only guess for the "postal service" is because Royal Mail didn't agree - not surprising as the postie discusses private mail with people haha. Jackman has some odd accents, but maybe they're character voices for the stories. Great film to watch with the kids tho.

       @Gargron what I find amazing from the movie is how they made a sheep look like Patrick Stewart!

       @Gargron as others have said the neon signs are a call back joke and I laughed each time I saw one. As a shepherd (who also talks to his sheep) the one thing that gave me pause was that Orf can be spread to humans and so applying any medicine would require gloves. It is also highly contagious to other sheep and so even a big hearted shepherd would cull the animal. But I loved the book and the film.

       @llamasoft_ox Have you seen the movie? I would be curious to know what you think about it :) @Gargron
