One estate agent's pole, slightly used. The removal of the four broken off screws took a surprising amount of force: perhaps I should have used a nail bar, delightfully known to the French as a pince-Monseigneur.
One length of chain, the sort of thing slung along lines of short posts between front gardens and sidewalks. A sturdy chain which should add value to a variety of children's activities. It would, for example, make a fine enclosure for a selection of farm animals, perhaps pigs.
One double bag from BT. Filled with sand and used to hold down the temporary signs used to mark works on sidewalks and roads. One of three that I have been eying up, but I found two rather heavy, even with a pole to sling them off. Not helped by the occasional gust of wind. A bag which takes my total to three. Something else to add value to children's games.
I have also been eying up a couple of bags of sand left by someone's front gate post in Manor Green Road. One unopened, intended to be used underneath the bricks and stones used to pave front gardens. One about half full. I full sure they have been left there in the hope that someone will carry them off, and our own little stash of sand, kept against an occasional need for the stuff, is running low.
