Well this has to be in the flame pit.

The other day whilst driving along the A10 in Norfolk I noticed a small plastic disposable water bottle apparently caught in a tree branch hanging over the road. It seemed to be hanging by it's neck in a small fork so you think that's a lucky gust of wind to do that. Then a little further up was one on the other side, again hanging by the neck from a small branch. Odd there's two you think. Then another but this time it's clear it's hanging from bailer twine tied to the branch. This goes on for a few miles, every so often is a small water bottle (and just one plastic milk bottle) tied to a roadside tree with twine. Must of been a dozen or so that we saw.

Now these bottles are not at low level, some are 8 feet up or so and tied to slender branches. You would need step ladders or a vehicle to stand on to do it. Every time the bottle has no cap and is hung vertical, top uppermost. This prompted quite a discussion in the car as we looked out for the next one. I mentioned it could be some form of "dead letter drop" but then my wife pointed out that the russian FSB were probably a bit more sophisticated than that, which seemed a fair comment.....

So does it signify something to those in the know, does the use of bailer twine mean there's a secret farming organisation involved? a sort of hay based masonic lodge?

Any ideas out there?

Whereabouts on the A10 were they or was it the all of it?

The section between Downham Market and Kings Lynn


I'll have a look when I'm that way next.

Having found everything in Norfolk and about Norfolk weird, I don't think its the plastic bottles you should be worrying about!

I have been informed by an aquaintence, that if you see trainers, looped over a telegraph wire, or electricity wires and especially near to a local dogging area. This signifies a homosexual who has come out Now how true that is I have no idea. But, this may be a local variation

Ah, now I was told the trainers thing indicated a potential dealing spot for drugs - but then I'm not into "yoof" culture. I did wonder whether these bottles had some similar significance. Well others have noticed the bottles and the local paper has picked it up. A short article has a photo and an appeal for further information - so this may get cleared up.

Maybe it's an art installation, like this one:
