I saw this unusuality yesterday :https://www.flickr.com/gp/40683222@N00/ox9zs7
For those of you who do not wish to visit unveröffentlichte sites, I shall describe it. It is a three - foot tall cedar wood pillar of rectangular design supported by titanium cross - billows. Probably used so that that poxy green tiling wouldn't be damaged. |

I can imagine the potential for damage if it was mounted on the wall - not least it ending up no longer being mounted on the wall if someone goes for a vigorous slam dunk of their litter. And I like the green tiles! |

At least bins are back after decades of trying to persuade us they were removed for terrorist bomb reasons. Rather than the real reason which was just cost cutting. -- Spud |

It's a basketball hoop for Wombles. |

But the whole "terrorism" excuse was transparently bull**** as the events of 7/7 sadly proved. -- Spud |

Say what you like about the IRA, but they weren't mad keen about getting killed themselves. Hence bombs in bins rather than on their backs. |

But I didn't see a call to ban cars after all the car bombs they set off. If there hadn't been a bin they'd have put it in something else. -- Spud |
