Ten orange bottles are sitting on the wall,

a little nudge will make one accidently fall.

On thing that is certain, absolutely sure,

another one will take its place once more.


Nine orange bottles, one is turning pink,

we hope that no one chances a quick drink.

I wonder where it came or where it?s made,

looks more like the colour of Lucosade.


Eight orange bottles, most contain a litre,

one has been refilled, that makes a repeater.

How can these bottles line up it?s fantastic,

glad they are not made of glass, only plastic.


Seven orange bottles, get a lot of attention,

some of us see them going for our pension.

One of them has now fallen on the ground,

lucky it is plastic did not make a sound.


Six orange bottles, all standing in a line,

I am very pleased that the wall is not mine.

Wonder if the sun will make them burst,

better they go that way or quench a thirst.


Five orange bottles, bursting to the top,

think that anyone could overheat and pop.

If they do explode, they will leave a stain,

if weather changes wash away with the rain.


Four orange bottles, now looking all forlorn,

most have their labels missing or badly torn.

I like the coloured caps, that close the top.

cant say as I like the bottom shape a lot.


Three orange bottles, is not so many now,

sure that the number will increase some how.

?Mummy why are those bottles upon the wall ??

?don't take any notice we will be late for school?.


Two orange bottles, are sitting side by side.

one feels self conscious and just wants to hide.

Each tries to hide behind the other out of sight,

they will never succeed try as they might.


One orange bottle, thinks has lost his Human Rights,

if the toilets were not removed, none suffer this plight.

The rights we had have gone to spend a Penny,

the right to do a human function? We have not any.


Due to the last post I sent, the message was read over 500 time in twenty four hours.



This has prompted a couple of Personal messages to me to give some light on the subject. This is one.


Hi,


I am writing a story on the orange liquid bottles that have been appearing around Dulwich for a piece in the Southwark News newspaper and would like to speak to you about your experience.



The mystery surrounding the orange liquid is very intriguing and I'd like to speak to some residents who've seen it around and would like to get to the bottom of what it is.


Could you call 0207 xxx xxx and ask for Reena and I'll call you back or could you let anyone else know who you think will be willing to talk to me about it.


We go to press tomorrow morning so I'd really like to speak to somebody today.


Regards. xxxxxx

    • One more cyclist one less driver.  Big picture.
    • If the cyclist wasn't wearing lights and hi viz, did it really happen..........?
    • I don't think anyone here is claiming the Torygraph is the paragon of good reporting, or impartiality. I was referring to media organisations across the spectrum, and I opened it wide up, way beyond the BBC.  But, to your point, if you're making a programme about abortion, say, you're not going to interview the man/woman on the street with a moderate view, you're always going to go to the people at the extreme ends, that's the point of the exercise, right? And most people watching innately know what's objectively right and wrong, because mainly they're decent people who've had the privilege of growing up in a liberal, free-thinking, tolerant democracy.  There have always been despicable people, and there always will be. Things feel worse at the moment because of the immediacy of media, but maybe they aren't. One day, Trump will be a blip in history and everyone will be consumed with the next big problem. Probably a genocidal robot.   
    • If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.
