Unfortunately that's not always an acceptable option in historic

Why on earth not?

Bollards painted in bright red and white stripes hardly enhance the local

Unless they're outside a barbers shop.

Good grief! When did you last see one of them? I've not seen one for years.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a red and white striped bollard outside a
barbers shop.

Never - was a joke. Did they really exist? I think theres still a mounted red

I've just seen 2 in a 15 minute drive and I wasn't even looking for
them, so they're probably everywhere.

Incidentally one of them is new because Google Streetview shows no
barbers and no pole.
