2 Kronor Pant

1,5 litre Ramlösa with 2 kronor PANT

Storvretsvägen, Huddinge.
I admit it, this was staged by me.
Due to 'PANT' drinks containers are very rare on the streets of Stockholm.

Can horses make beds?

19 June 2015

A very clear "No. Horses cannot make beds". Look at this idiot.

Brook Street, Luton

Chelsea

11 June 2015

Proof, if ever it's needed, that Chelsea is rubbish.

Brook Street, Luton

Dummy soother pacifier napp

11 June 2015

Beloved object has many names. Anyone else out there in the Blogosphere reminded of the moon landings by this pic?

Harcourt Street, Luton

Rubber cone shaped thing‏

10 June 2015

See? Top left. A rubber cone shaped thing, hemmed in between two yellow lines. Emblematic of our times, eh? Note a round leaf observing the rubber cone shaped thing, hiding in the lower yellow line.

Church Street, Luton

Strawberry with vapour trail

3 June 2015

Dramatic voyage on pavement, captured and frozen for all time.

Langley Street, Luton

Another pink thing

27 May 2015

A pretty pink circle. Elastic hairband in search of a ponytail.

Brook Street, Luton

Jigsaw jewelry

30 May 2015

This looks like some sort of cross between a jigsaw and some jewelry, though the Street Objects team is happy to be corrected.

Castle Street, Luton

What lurks within

24 May 2015

There are two screws in this bag. Even though I DOUBT IT MYSELF. Something's up. Still, you can see one of the screws if you look properly.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough

23 May 2015

Things can get a bit hairy on the street. We don't need the likes of Nick Ross or Shaw Taylor to tell us. The other day, I was walking about and was asked for a fight by a "pissed up" fridge. Luckily a bin bag held it back.

Here, for a record of the dismal, is more drunken furniture.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Unlikely to play

23 May 2015

Broken cds often look more evocative than this specimen. If you don't believe me, you've not seen this site. Still, if you look with a gammy eye, can you see a swan's face?

Hitchin Road, Luton

Piece of pink

23 May 2015

For lo, even above the damp and dirty streets of old Luton, pink chimerical things float. Here's one such, heart shaped.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Christmas Bauble

12 April 2015

One that nearly got away. A nice reflection on the REAL meaning of Christmas. Does not the drain represent the stable door, and the bauble the Mother Mary and Father Joe?

Wigmore Lane, Luton

Three poignant objects - a comment on the human condition?

12 May 2015

Maybe, hope, despair, and fear (brown official envelope usually means trouble). The arrangement is very symmetrical, all right angles. Circled by an asymmetrical arrangement of cigarette butts and toilet paper.

Luton (exact location not advised)

Baby and plastic ladybird

17 May 2015

Baby and plastic ladybird? That's what this flipping nightmare looks like. Late 1960s psychedelic whimsy re-imagined by the Breaking Bad team.

Hastings Street, Luton

Prehistoric tooth

7 May 2015

Surely one of the very best street objects so far. Very exciting find. Doug McClure and 'Pete' Cushing would have been over the moon. An extinct species? Is it a tooth or a bird's skull? YOU DECIDE.

Windmill Road, Luton

Stock liquidation sales

2 May 2015

I've always wondered what's sold at stock liquidation sales. I still do.

Church Street, Luton

Hint of Spiderman

2 May 2015

There's a superhero in here somewhere. Damned toy phones. Is Spiderman still hip?

Hitchin Road, Luton

Slazenger

1 May 2015

At first, I thought this could have been the Jaguar car logo. But no.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Yellow flowers

25 April 2015

Discarded flowers never tell a happy tale.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Tiny Bob Marley bag

25 April 2015

Most likely use for this tiny Bob Marley bag is the safe transport of tiny Bob Marleys.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Inside out

25 April 2015

Looks like someone tried their own version of the City of London's Lloyd's Building in Round Green, but got frustrated and gave up.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Word on the street, £13

25 April 2015

Word on the street was necklace. At £13, you'd expect a half decent one too. Nothing amazing you understand, but all the same, something half decent.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Frames

25 April 2015

For those looking and for those who remember yesterday's post. Hurrah!

Hitchin Road, Luton

Lens

25 April 2005

Usually found in a pair. Not on this occasion. Now, where the heck's the rest of this pair...?

Hitchin Road, Luton

A lovely pink pair

22 April 2015

Possibly not as evocative or desolate as some of the other abandoned clothing posts we've had. And yet, there's plenty here if you look for it.


Cumberland Street, Luton

Overripe Mango

22 April 2015

Is this really overripe, or has the mango just lost a shoot out against a gang of lychees?

Brook Street, Luton

Stuck

18 April 2015

You know sometimes you see people looking to cross the road and taking ages. It might be that they're super-cautious, or it could be to do with the fact that some smartarse has glued them to the pavement.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Tiniest Necklace

18 April 2015

Possibly the world's tiniest necklace. I'd like to see a smaller one.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Learning the ropes

18 April 2015

Life is a journey and we're learning all the time. One of the things we should be learning is that we shouldn't leave so much ruddy litter lying about the place.

High Town Road, Luton

Swedes' tea party

17 April 2015

Hey. Looks like some little Swedes or visitors to that fine city were interrupted in their picnic. You can't help feeling they didn't pick the best spot.

Hornsgatan, Stockholm

Ancient Roman mosaic

11 April 2015

This probably isn't ancient Roman mosaic. But it might be. We need the view of an expert. Where's Agent Hugh Scully when you need him?

Hitchin Road, Luton

Bye Bye Easter

6 April 2015

Looks like this little fella decided he needed a lie down while hailing a cab.

God, chickens are stupid.

Hitchin Road, Luton

A tin opener and mashing away from an excellent Pea Soup

7 April 2015

Wikipedia traces the etymology of marrow fat to the 1700s, when 'marrow' was combined with 'fat'. Who'd've thought it?

Stockingstone Road, Luton

Another Rhapsody in Blue

7 April 2015

Carrying on the theme of 'Folk Art' blue. This glove is exactly the same hue as the box and the Japanese screw fish.

New Bedford Road, Luton

Rhapsody in Blue

7 April 2015

Crate, in a lovely blue colour. Same hue as those blue screws that looked like fish in a Japanese pond. 'Folk Art' blue.

Crawley Road, Luton

Shalwar Kameez suit

7 April  2015

A man's Shalwar Kameez suit in pristine condition. Just a little creased by the damp from the morning dew. 

Telford Way, Luton

San Francisco, Beds

7 April 2015

It says San Franciso, California on the hat. But that is not right, it ought to say Luton, Bedfordshire.

Alma and New Bedford, Luton

Night bread

29 March 2015

Half a baguette, dressed to the nines and about to hit the town.

High Town Road, Luton

Abandoned cd

29 March 2015

While a little less interesting than its London counterparts, this abandoned cd is at having a game go at eating what I suppose it thinks is some chewing gum.

Unlikely to play.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Orderly queue

28 March 2015

A neat turn round on people either playing musical statues, or having to queue for a seat.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Filthy cheese

21 March 2015

Two M&S handy size slabs of Wensleydale and Cranberry. Why do they make this stuff? Does anyone enjoy having berries shoved into what would otherwise doubtless have been a half decent fromage?

Bute Street, Luton

What the internet used to look like

19 March 2015

This is what the internet used to look like, before they were able to fit it into smart phones.

St George's Square, Luton

Abandoned hope

17 March 2015

Hello; what's this? You see these creatures, don't you, at about this time of year. They're either on top of rather pasty drunk looking people, or like this fella, confused and scuttling along the pavement, looking for three leafed clover.

Pedestrianised precinct between Luton railway station and Arndale

Wrong shorts

15 March 2015

Sometimes shorts just get lost. Everyone knows that. Bit odd, though, the way this attractive blue pair ended up wrapped round the bannister in the way they were.....

Woodbridge Meadows, River Wey Walk Guildford

One jumped as the other looked on

14 March 2015

What's going on here? I would suggest that the world falls into two sorts of people; those who'd have that the supine fir is stalking, the other that it's got up onto the wall and taken its own life.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Not 'smart' enough

14 March 2015

Technbology fails sometimes. Especially when its not smart enough to stay on the footpath and get run over by some heavy, fast moving vehicle.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Liberace passed here

6 March 2015

Famous pianist Liberace has almost never certainly been to Charles Street in Luton. That's not to see he's not keenly regarded round these parts.

Charles Street, Luton

The Big Clash

14 March 2015

The Big Clash. Seems like fun. Not entirely sure what it is.....

Hitchin Road, Luton

Blue screws

4 March 2015

Blue screws, like fish in an ornamental Japanese pond. But right outside a disastrous, derelict industrial centre in Luton town centre.

Power Court, Luton
