Strange bottles full of orange liquid

[Wilhelm]

New sighting. Two bottles on doorstep of ex - pub at the corner of Crawthew and Spurling. We're being cornered!

[Dopamine1979]

I live nearby. I might start charging people to come and view this exhibit.

Well, since the Barbara Hepworth sculpture was melted down for scrap, we are in need of a new tourist attraction...

[Lynne]

Aha, how do you know it was melted down for scrap? (Could be gracing someones' garden)

Where were you on the night of whenever it was?

Lynne

Banged to rights! It's possible that the Hepworth may have been taken by an avid art lover, to savour in the solitude of their own private kingdom, in the same way that church roofs may well have been stripped of their lead by a pack of dedicated, if unorthodox, vicars who were determined to get their own parish roof up to scratch at the expense of others'.

A sort of "church Darwinism". If vicars believed in Darwinism, that is.

But, call me a cynic, my vote is still on the Hepworth meeting the same fiery grave as the 9m of signaling cable stripped out betwixt London Bridge and Bermondsey South back in September...

This is hilarious.. I've registered on this forum purely to be able to say so...

Come on peeps... this is crying out for a stakeout...

and can we have photos of each sighting please? XD

Sounds like we need a private eye. A case for Piss Marple?

The central bottle looks a lot darker to me and suggest blood in the urine. The white residue in the others might be proteinuria, which is a bad sign too. I think the driver should pay a visit to his GP.

[herrd]

My guess is a weird Berocca OCD, which is nowhere near as funny as the urine theory, but would help explain the white residue. I leave a glass of the stuff by the bed at night if I've had a bunch of booze, vainly hoping it will fend off all evils, and it looks pretty much like that next morning...

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Junk by product could be in the bottles. Just registered eh. No one is beyond suspicion.

pls can you stick a post it note on the bottles saying this?

you might be doing them a big favour...

All bottles still in place at 7pm this evening. I thought about taking a sniff (I had gloves on) but decided I didn't want to end the mystery or this thread. Sad as it is, I will likely take a diversion on my way to breakfast tomorrow to check the status.

[bloonoo]

We just sniffed. The first bottle smelt like off apple juice. The second bottle smelt like stale wee. We didn't sniff the third due to the smell of the second.

[maxxi]

In light of admin's statement at the top of the page regarding housekeeping I suspect these bottles to be nothing less than forum residue.

Anyone prepared to undertake a more empirical study of the flasks will surely detect the faint whiff of Foie Gras, Burnt Jam and cats.

My favourite post of the day. Thanks :)-D

[Santerme]

Clearly some kind of binary weapon then

[computedshorty]

He must save every ?P?.

It?s always worth knowing, just what is the interest you might get,

there are several ways to save, but the best is with fixed interest set.

There are several Banks where you will have to use Plastic provided,

but which one, after much thought as yet he has still not decided.

There are a exactly one hundred new pence in every Sterling pound,

I cant see him bagging and lugging all those heavy coins around.

He could stay at around ten, a useable number not too great at all,

taking up the space on the top at the corner Worlingham Road wall.

He tried to deposit this collection at the branch of the Lloyds Bank,

but was redirected elsewhere, his soggy Bank Book is left as a blank.

Arriving at the Bottle Bank, finding the right place, searching is dramatic,

plenty for glass jars and bottles, but none at all there that takes plastic.

So it looks like those multi coloured bottles are back here gain to stay,

if you get tired of looking at them on your right, then come the other way.

Now seen on your left, leaving them behind getting very far distant,

no use removing those bottles away, the dirty old devil is very persistent.

The next time you use your Plastic Credit Card, pause take time to think,

just what can be that smell, the Card is giving off such a horrible stink.

Made from recycled Plastic and made into a Credit Card and issued you,

it?s just a thought that the bottles contents, might have been Recycle too.

What do you expect me to do with my time you shutting down for hours.

[Thomas Micklewright]

I can report that a 2 litre bottle of yellow liquid is on display on a wall half way up oakhurst grove. They're spreading!

[benmorg]

Probably a minicab driver dumping them on way back to Northcross Road.

[James Barber]

Call 020 7525 2000 to have them removed.

I'll also raise it with the local Police at tonights East Dulwich Safer Neighbourhood Team Police meeting. They might know what this is.

Can I suggest you tell the police to contact local taxi companies as it's almost certainly a driver clearing out his company's car at the end of a shift, probably in the middle of the night when there's nobody watching. I think there's a minicab company on Northcross Road - they might know something.

Has anyone seen all the bottles of brown lumpy liquid that have been gathering at the bottom of McDermott Road? I'm not saying they are connected incidents but something is not right and I, for one, am not happy. Not happy one bit!

[Bayleaf]

I too have wondered about these bottles but I think the clue is that they are outside the hose of the lady who always puts her spare apples out for neighbours to take. I am thinking/hoping that they may be apple juice which she is hoping to give away but instead she has started a mystery .. and councillors are talking of the police!
