I'm happy, thebish, that you have posted information about this rather strange 'thing'. Intriguing is the best word that comes to mind.
I am not quite as happy, though, when viewing the 'Men at Work' sign, seemingly erected close to the end of the path, as captured by your camera.

I thought Old Jamaica was a ginger beer not a chocolate bar. Oh well, I've been away a long time.Bruce Rioja wrote:Really? There's one of them by Burnden Park Asda isn't there?

Exchanging on the flat we're selling, house we're buying after 3 long, long months... end in sight!!

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
