New street lights - symbol on ground

[mlfc]

Can anyone settle a "discussion" between me and the wife?

 

We are due to have new street lights in Ecclesfield and where each one is planned there's a symbol on the ground that looks like a 6 inside a rectangle.

 

I think it must be a symbol representing a lampost but my wife thinks it's just a 6 which it does look like but I can't see why they would put a 6. Maybe it's something else altogether

 

Just wondered if anyone knows. It's not threatening divorce so not a great issue if we never find out

It is the number of the beast, take care.

Why not ask the guys whoes doing the work next time you see them.

I was told it was to summon the evil Pazuzu - in his most hideous form - that of a giggling George Formby

That was far too clever for on here...

 

... and I suppose you have to be of a certain age to appreciate it anyway!

Reminds me of the TV classic series 'The Prisoner', in which Patrick Mc Goohan was 'Number 6' lol:hihi:

If and when your new lights are fitted I hope they work better than ours in S20, fitted now for over four weeks, they come on at dusk then go off again within 30 minutes never to come back on until the saga is repeated the following night.

 

I am sick of reporting the fault, street force or street farce as they are known here are rubbish.

This seems to be happening a lot, somebody on another thread said the same they come on for so long and then switch off I think Amey may have problem with the control system

[lukesheff]

it means the street light is going to be 6 metres high.

 

and in my area they seem to be on all night on the roads but in alley ways they switch off between half an hour to an hour. several alley ways are pitch black at night. ridiculous.
