Whats with all the threads asking people these short questions.

Wheelie bins

LBFseBrom · 29/04/2024 00:14

Nothing out of the ordinary but I'm not very observant.

Twats parking half on the pavement. Fly tipping.

Swimmers in speedo trunks.

Occasionally we see coyotes, frequently skunks.

I’m glad you asked.

I found this on the rubbish pile outside a row of very chi chi little shops in Westbourne Grove the other night when I was coming home late.
I don’t have a clue what it’s for but it’s very well made so I’m treating it as Art.

That rack is for spools of thread.

urbanbuddha · 29/04/2024 02:46

Thank you!!!
I’m just going to Google the shops - it’s a bit Daylesford Organic up there.

urbanbuddha · 29/04/2024 02:55

No upholsterers or embroidery there - it’s mainly cafes and clothes shops like the Kooples. There are a couple with their windows obscured so I’m guessing they’re the ones who chucked it. But it’s good to know what it was made for.

Dog shit

CharliesAngles · 29/04/2024 03:55

Neighbours at it in full view 😜

@urbanbuddha What a great find!

@CharliesAngles

It was so lucky! It looks very striking in a refined crafty kind of way. None of the people who’ve come to the house has guessed what it was. And @JoniBlue knew straight away! Big thank you.

Swimmers in speedo trunks.

Hah same here. Though to be fair I walk up the road in my swimming costume too, when I come back from a swim, but I'm not a man in speedoes so its different.

3 large wheelie bins per property. The houses opposite me do not have front gardens so they literally line the street. So ugly.

Vinorosso74 · 29/04/2024 06:34

Rental e bikes, specifically the Lime ones often left in the middle of the pavement.

Twiglets1 · 29/04/2024 06:36

My elderly neighbour trying to sell the community newsletter he produces. We don’t want it but have bought quite a few over the years because of not wanting to hurt his feelings.
