Let’s all get rid of our ugly house roof arials
As I sat in my garden this evening, I looked up and noticed the redundant old fashioned arial on the roof. I looked at my neighbours houses and could see that we all have pretty much the same ugly rake-style ariels that festoon the land on virtually every house.
We have become so blind to them that, like chimney pots we only miss them when they are gone, most new houses these days do not have a chimney so therefore chimney pots are something of a rarity in certain areas.
Personally I think houses without chimney pots lack some character but ariels, now these are ugly things that are a blight on the skyline. The great news is that we no longer need them.
They are mostly made of recyclable metal and strapped on with scaffolding pole, surely some enterprising person can come up with a business that takes them away free for you and they make money on the recycling aspect, I hate them and for one would be glad to see them all going. I will be removing mine anyway.
I vote we have a “national arial recycling scheme?” don’t you?
