Well, could someone explain what these look like? I did see some lamps with
a couple of spiky things on the top, well a friend spotted them, and the guy
who was fitting it told us they were to stop pigeons pooping on the
photocells, which I find hard to believe myself.
If they are they would need to have 10,000 volts on them and we wouldno
doubt find the birds falling on our heads dead as we walked down the street,
as these birds are incredibly stupid on one level, ie perching on dangerous
things.

That should work.


They installed new lights along the main road in a nearby village,
Driving through today I paid a bit more attention to them and noticed
that whilst they had what I had assumed was a photocell type lump on
top, there was an aerial type thing sticking out of the top of that as
well
