ta-da

Whilst the popular red telephone-box asserts is national icon status by having cheap (or at least tasteless) tat fashioned in its likeness the traffic-cone has yet to be granted the honour of having a series of similar-looking vases commissioned. I didn't check but I presume some of the clippings placed respectfully beside the random dead planted beside the cone are from the extravagantly large shrubby bush-thing which has been impeding progression along the path alongside the wall alongside the railway for a couple of years during the summer. It certainly looks a lot jollier than the usual mawkishly tasteless vase-things often seen infesting graveyards and is almost certainly cheaper. A pity cones are usually open at the bottom and therefore unsuitable for use as urns for burnt deads.
