Exmouth aghast after iconic and popular ‘rusty pole’ disappears from the Maer Tags:United Kingdom 9 comments It was only a matter of time , the Russians have been eyeing it up for a while, for use as a replacement barrel for their artillery. Broken Britain Well, that’s a a bummer. The rusty pole was a real draw for foreigners like me. The UK doesn’t have much left without the rusty pole. The ruins of Blackpool, Salisbury’s 123 metre spire, and what else? Could we ask James Delingpole to just stand there instead? I thought this was silly until I saw that the pole had been there since 1909, and now I am sad The idiots in that article would be the first to whine (and then go see a no win no fee solicitor) if that rusty pipe had fallen on them Another national treasure lost. Was a popular meeting point too. Hopefully they will raise money to have a monument to the pole erected. Stainless steel this time. As someone who grew up in the area, I’m struggling to process this news. It’s going to be on my mind for the rest of the day now. Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
