A fingerpost (sometimes referred to as a guide post) is a traditional type of sign post primarily used in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, consisting of a post with one or more arms, known as fingers, pointing in the direction of travel to places named on the fingers. The posts have traditionally been made from cast iron or wood, with poles painted in black, white or grey and fingers with black letters on a white background, often including distance information in miles. In most cases, they are used to give guidance for road users, but examples also exist on the canal network, for instance. They are also used to mark the beginning of a footpath, bridleway, or similar public path.

A cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster. This stored data is typically a result of an earlier computation, or a duplicate of data stored elsewhere. The primary purpose of a cache is to increase data retrieval performance by reducing the need to access the underlying slower storage layer.
