yen_powell Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I thought if I went on my push bike via my nearest footpaths and bridleways I would gain access to some lovely narrow country lanes with no cars on them as well as some of the green lanes I used to ride my motorbike on. After two footpaths, a bridleway and another footpath I gave up due to the severe clagginess I found and rode back home. Here is a close up of my bike showing some nature on it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London parks have a high population of them. Known for a shrieky call. This pic is St James’ park in London Expand That does look very similar, but I think the ones here are a lot bigger. Hence me thinking it was a cockatoo and not a parakeet. I don't know. They are cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I remember in the early 80's Swansea City Council installed new metal bus shelters throughout Townhill......and on the first weekend every one of them was uprooted and stolen for scrap. And apparently nobody saw anything! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently nobody saw anything! Expand About 10 years ago there was a sudden spate of manhole and other metal covers being stolen along with people risking life and limb cutting live cable alongside railways, scrap prices were good enough to take anything it seemed. Our own highway inspectors would remain unseen for most of the month with a mass sighting of them on the day overtime and mileage sheets had to be put in. They all usually parked down the same back street and one winter day they all drove home in the dark without realising every single gulley cover in the road was missing. We use hinged covers now, even our road signs are composite rather than alloy. The worst thing was when a cast plate with names of fallen on a war memorial got pinched. I think the local scrap dealers clubbed together and paid for a new one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
