Does Heeley Road feature yet?

I have so far only encountered one abandoned fridge on Heely Road, and it wasn't picturesque enough for the calendar.  I suspect the problem is that the pavement is too narrow to abandon a fridge without detriment to the ability to park one's shabby builder van, and they get hoiked round the corner to be abandoned on Exeter Road or similar.

It's Dawlish and St Edwards that seem to be the real fridge hotcold-spots.  Though you have to pay attention with Dawlish, as the fridges tend to migrate downhill over time, and you can end up with dozens of photos of the same fridge.

Maybe there's a marketing opportunity for a special edition "Fridge of the year" calendar?

And the calendars have arrived!  Only one really embarrassing design cockup that I've noticed...

Ha, no.  Something daft with layers that's easily missed on screen, but obvious on paper.

Thanks Kim. It arrived this morning.
July amused me.  :thumbsup:
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Mine arrived too. I'm very impressed - have you started to compose the pictures, or do you just have a good eye?

March looks like one fridge has been sent to Coventry by the other two.
April looks like a crime scene, with the murder weapon left arrogantly.
June reminds me of the scene in the Godfather where Don Corleone is gunned down in the street while buying fruit.
July is funny  ;D
Was September defenestrated?
October is the Italian Job ("You're only supposed to..." etc)
And is that your 'bent in December?

Excellent work.

The friends that I bought copies for last year are genuinely unhappy that there aren't enough to go around this year, describing last year's as "a source of endless amusement".
What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Our postie finally decided to visit today - very pleased with it  :thumbsup:

July is excellent.

It's heading back up to the Brum area to my inlaws, who will love it. Thanks Kim!
