(1) Our front door used to have a srip running along its base, on the exterior side, just above the bottom; to catch the rain and shed it outwards, so it didn't run down into the gap between the door and the frame. It has now disappeared, and I'd like to replace it. There are three small holes in the door, which it clips into.

Does anyone know where I can get one / what it's called?

(2) On the M42 south of Birmingham, there are signs saying, "Pollution controlled penstock." Does anyone know what these are?

Regards the door I suspect if you wander into B&Q and ask one of the staff for a rain strip for the bottom of your door they'll probably be able to help. I find the staff in our local one to be very helpful.

I think a 'pollution controlled penstock' is probablly something to do with the management of spilled fluids - even something as innocuous-sounding as orange juice can be pretty awful if it gets into the rivers.

A penstock is, I think, a type of sluice.

Ah, yes, the OED clarifies: it is a sluice or floodgate leading from a penned or pent body of water.

what you're after me old mucker is a rain deflector. Stormguard is a well known brand - see http://www.doorfurnituredirect.co.uk/scpro/bernards/productdetailsmore~productid~4894.htm

You can get these in B&Q.
