I thought this might be about open grate steel bridges. As kids, before
all cars had carpeting, the vibration would tickle our feet on the
floor. We called them "tickle bridges". They sure were slippery when wet!

As far as the new Tickle Cock Bridge goes, that plaque wouldn't last
long here with only 4 fasteners.

They are probably security fixings. Nobody thinks anything of stuff
like this over here, there are lots of strange anomalies ergo not that
attractive. Hey, maybe I could nick it myself& sell it in
America ;-)


I understand that British visitors to "****ing Austria" are always
stealing the city signs. 8-)
