COULD someone please explain to me why there seems to be a fashion in Barnards Green for bending sign posts and the traffic control box?

Presumably, and indeed hopefully, this is being done by younger people rather than the residents of local care and rest homes.

Could perhaps someone enlighten me as to the strange pleasure that is obviously derived from bending a lamp post? Is it fun? Or is burning down the skate park more exciting!

Given a good explanation, I could perhaps encourage the council to join in the fun but we would, of course, require payment of our costs, at local tax-payers' expense, to enjoy such a worthwhile hobby.
