Narrative:
I have again encountered an exit sign where there is no exit. This time it is at row 7 and there is another sign two rows back at the actual over wing exits. I question this again as I was told that the arrows are just directional yet the bulk head exit row sign has no arrow and that is an exit. My announcements do not refer to the arrow just 'each exit has an overhead exit sign'. There is no reference to arrows. The answer is not consistent with this aircraft and does not match our announcements.
