the joke is that there is an elecrical fault in the sign, which leave just the letters T,W,A,T and S illuminated.
the irony being that its an anagram for WATTS, which is a unit of power.
the very same power that is failing to illuminate the sign!

it's an acronym for 'This Was A Thwaites Sign", and the irony is, that it isn't any more
