Hitting the stage where I start to crave an actual vegetable—other than roast potatoes, that is—which presumably is some kind of unconscious mechanism to avoid scurvy or rickets.
@teacherdude Christmas reference acknowledged 😂
@AthanSpod @mistymaria It seems very likely to be the right answer. Maybe I’ll go back and look for a modern sign — given Clifton it wouldn’t surprise me if the hydrant had remained in the same place for the last hundred or so years!
@porthjess Merry Christmas, Jess!
Having nearly killed @_pigeons_ by doing the Guardian cryptic Christmas special (much to @Bingo_Little’s amusement) it’s now time to sit down with a whisky and the Jonathan Creek Black Canary Christmas special…
mistymaria @gothick Fire hydrant, 24ft away, I think?
@PeteWilliams That was what it reminded me of, but it’s up in Clifton, above the height of the top of the suspension bridge, so no, it would have to have been one hell of a flood :D
logopetria @gothick In light of this it’s more plausible that it used to be a square at some time in the past and just lost a corner in an act of spontaneous civic origami
Even if it does say F. H. 24 Ft. like I think, I still have no idea what it means. pic.twitter.com/mO2rmWhliS
Something tells me the area has previous form for collapses; here’s a picture from one of the three corners of this alleged “square” from one of my recent “one mile Matt” wanders. twitter.com/beardedjourno/… pic.twitter.com/m6D3FCyZWw

This is the square I posted about recently that isn’t actually a square, but a triangle. In my imagination the angry gods of geometry are trying to rectify things. twitter.com/BristolCouncil…
