apparently they are not metal but a combination of materials and have no recycling value.

Is 'The Angel of the North' still in situ?

Anything metallic looking and unattended will sooner or later be lifted and be off to the scrapyard.

The downside of getting tough on small time drug users is waves of petty crime.
The downside of getting tough with immigrant benefits is much the same except networked metal pilfering is often preferred.

There is no particular animosity towards the fallen the sculptures - or the way up to Henry Moore - are just seen as unattended money.

Sad.

It seems that feral thugs believe they can do what they like and nothing will be done about it.

What on earth do they intend doing with it I wonder. It has no value and as soon as it is spotted in a garden somebody will report it.

A giant poppy sculpture commemorating the beginning of World War One has been stolen from a Berkshire roundabout.

The 6ft (1.8m) metal and fibre glass poppy was taken from a roundabout on Sheet Street Road between Windsor Great Park and Ascot.

It was one of 25 poppies installed at roadside locations by Bracknell Forest Council at a cost of £550 each.

Police said whoever was responsible had "gone to great effort" to remove it from its concrete base.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
