Turnstones maybe?

Yes, the British love hedges and often let them overgrow at road sides. They also trim them a lot, but just to get them bushier, I suspect.
2 years agoWe have had a few of these experiences, fortunately without the cars, so we just roll around them. Makes me appreciate the maintenance at home.
2 years agoThat one in the middle definitely owes you a quarter for this photo...
2 years agoOpenreach are in charge of phone/broadband cables. They are notoriously unreliable, which probably explains why they hadn’t actually showed up to dig their hole in the road…
2 years agoMaybe Southampton didn't have the £s to pay for a nice rebuilding after the war. Or maybe a lack of forethought.

2 years agoThere must be a website somewhere that auto-generates names for pubs and restaurants. That's the third combination in a row!

But I haven't yet been able to turn up any credible or authoritative information or discussions about whether it's just coincidence or whether there's evidence (such as tool marks) that it was carved.
That lack of findings leads me to guess it's just a fluke of the light and viewing angle.
What a great exploration! (To my shame, I’ve never been to Stonehenge - put off by the traffic and cost and crowds - but now that you and the Andersons have revealed this brilliant cyclists’ loophole I’m very tempted …)
2 years agoII is the least important, next up is II*, and the top level is I (in England; Scotland does letters, I think). The rankings more or less correlate to the historical/architectural significance of buildings, and they limit what changes can be made to it. (So, for example, putting new windows into a Grade II building is hard but not impossible. If the Pickled Frog were II* or I listed they might not have been allowed that sign. But if they weren’t listed at all, they’d probably be allowed a neon sign!)
2 years agoSo did we, but surely it is not?

How do you like the full English now?... I think the novelty soon wanes.
