The numpties at Powys County Council (Powys Care in the Community) have seen fit to paint the tops of all the black street furniture with yellow paint, thats street bins, bollards etc etc nothing is untouched! But it doesn't stop there. They have also put a yellow band at head height on all upright metal posts around town too!
I am being told its something to do with assisting people with poor sight but FFS having spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on quality street furniture to have it destroyed like this is a nonsense!
where? Llandrindod? Builth?
Welshpool - you should see the place. 😥
to have it destroyed like this is a nonsense!
uh, destroyed ? Is yellow [b]such[/b] a corrosive colour ? I like yellow...
I'm struggling to reconcile a bit of paint with destruction, TBH
We've got to have skirting and door frames contrasting at work for the same reasons. It looks hideous, but in fairness it would still look hideous without the contrast 🙂
hideous (yellow) kinky
maybe al those horizontal stripes make the street furniture look too fat for the OP?
It's like all those stupid ramps everywhere. Bloody disableds.
O.K. its black wrought iron street furniture. All very attractive, but now some munter has applied a splash of yellow to the tops of everything with what appears to be a roller - I'll let your imaginations struggle with the image of a council worker, a pot of yellow paint and a roller - it aint DaVinci!
It makes you wonder why they went to all the bother and expense of recently repainting them all....

so what colours do I need to dis/like to be niche ??
Having run into one of those waist-height posts at full sprint, and I've 20:20 vision, I can say that they bloody well hurt if you don't see them. I had a bladder sized, shaped and located bruise for about 3 weeks (and genuinely almost took my teeth out as I folded around the pole vertically!). But then I wouldn't expect people with dodgy vision to be sprinting about!
It's a fascinating thought. The world would be a very different place if everything in it had to be designed so that a sprinting blind man couldn't hurt himself. Yellow things would only be the start... 🙂

hahaha I'd not even thought of it like that, that is a pretty special image!
