Описание: 29 October 2017 in Dawlish Road, Tottenham N17. Another of Martin Ball's photos from his Sunday walk. Perhaps the metal frame is leaning on the lamp post near the corner of the street, until a certain large waste truck comes by? Oh me, oh my. But notice as well the rubbish piled-up in the skip across the road. With more lying on the roadway. Skips are licensed - at least theoretically. And they are supposed to be covered and not overfilled. § Link to Haringey Council's webpage about the rules applying to waste skips temporarily placed in the street. § Skip: (British and Australian English) "a very large metal container used in the building industry for waste. It is carried away by a truck when it is full". Interesting but totally useless fact: (Unless you are in a pub quiz for etymologists:) "The origins of calling a rubbish cart a skip (most often found in Australia and the UK) come from the word 'skep', used to refer to a basket. 'Skep' itself comes from the Late Old English sceppe, from Old Norse skeppa 'basket'. " (Source: Wikipedia.) _________________________ § George Formby sings "Leaning on a Lamp post"
