August 10th – Popping up to Aldridge on my way to work, I noticed this character pointing the way to a local drainage supplies company, Venture Plastics, on Brickyard Road.
In what seems to be a nod to Futurama’s Bender, it can’t have been an easy thing to do so well. Brilliant.
Wonder if it has a name? My compliments to the creator. A masterpiece, and brilliant advertising.
August 1st – I was in Telford today. I noticed that to alleviate the congestion and overcrowding in the cycle shed, we have a new cheapo rack to use. Sadly, it’s of the worst type available – a wheelbender. So called because bikes fall over in them and end up with buckled rims, they’re also weak and the tubular supports will normally break off with a sharp kick. Trying to lock to them is lousy, too.
Still, they’ve just had the car park sorted and there wasn’t much left for the cyclists, clearly…
