Wow - a buck and everything! My ali bonnet was done by making a pattern out of old floor vinyl, cutting the ali to size and bending it round a
lamp-post

You must be in the wrong road... I see that salt bin says "CEC" and you've got a BEC

Brilliant, how long did you have to drive about till you found the right bollards?
If the locals had spotted you, I can imagine the call to the police.......
Local "Help, There are 3 strange men in our street bending some metal around a bollard, one is even taking photos of the other two, please come
and arrest them."
Policeman "???????"
I like the protective footwear too.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Although that would make an interesting shaped bonnet.

Just noticed they have those exact bollards in my kids school. Now that would be an interest conversation maker

Did the "stool" come out of the soil pipe?
