Thanks Ed! Very interesting.

An iron manhole cover, in the form of a triangular shield set into a tarmacked roadway. The cover includes the words Charlton Ironworks Ltd, Sheffield as part of the casting.

Nice cover from Charlton Ironworks for #JustAnotherManholeMonday

If I remember rightly when the BBC showed it they inadvertently showed one episode with the laugh track and had to apologise due to the number of complaints from viewers

Possibly, although there is only one with a drain next to it.

And for proper #BenchMarkMonday the almost obliterated bench mark on the south-east side of Waterloo Bridge at the top of the staircase leading down to the Southbank.

As far as I know these are not bench marks but does anyone know what they are? They can be found on the side of St Pancras Station across the road from King’s Cross. I find them intriguing. Not? #BenchMarkMonday

Double triangular manhole covers, forming a square, set into a tarmacked road. The word Wrekin appears along one edge and the British Standards Institute Kite Mark can be seen in the right angles of each triangular cover.

A lovely Wrekin for #JustAnotherManholeMonday Station Road, Farnsfield, Notts. by the cricket pitch.

Pedant here. He was born in New York and lived there till he was 12, so technically he’s a yank…but your point still stands

Nice triangular one for #JustAnotherManholeMonday. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Hartlid.
Located on Back Lane, Halam, Notts. outside the Waggon pub.

Couldn’t get it in the boot of the mini…

That looks like a nice millstone roughout.

Shouldn’t that read ‘converts from a C*nt to a racist’…

The image shows the tops of two white chairs standing in front of a concrete wall which has the imprint of the wooden planks used as shuttering when the concrete was poured. The grain of the wood can be clearly seen.

At the @nationaltheatre.org.uk for J.M. Synge’s ‘The Playboy of the Western World’. Haven’t seen the play since we had to design stage sets for it at Clarendon College in the late 80s. Looks like a superb cast. Here’s a nice bit of brutalist architecture to look at while you wait for the review.

Butterscotch Angel Delight is the food of the Gods. That is a hill I will die on.

We just called them ‘soldiers’. I still have hundreds from napoleonic to Cold War but never had the Romans or the fort.

They really should. At least they have a boar banner

Just to be pedantic it has changed ever so slightly in that the cap now has a hole in the top to prevent choking. A Bic Orange Fine is still the best biro I’ve ever used.

A cast iron manhole cover set into the road and lightly covered in snow. Tire tracks can be seen criss-crossing the manhole cover and surrounding area of road.

Later depictions show the pierced crown although it’s still a bit queeny.

Is it sad that I’m getting upset that the telephone kiosk in the introduction to Tabby McTat is a hybrid of a K2 and a K6. The fenestration and overall design is a K2 but the crown is a moulded queen’s crown and not a pierced king’s crown and the door handle is just wrong.

Typing error - would use ‘Legos’

The company Lego used to have a leaflet in sets sold in America explaining that it was the Lego system and that the individual items were bricks. They gave up eventually and just resigned themselves to the fact that Americans would use Lego’s.
