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! Says he from the land where the males where skirts. |

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:
