I rode up to ToolStation in Acton to get a few plumbing fittings, and picked up a free instant coffee on the way out. It was hot, so I drank it in the carpark, enjoying the sun on my skin. There was no bin for the empty plastic cup, so I zipped it into my jacket pocket and rode off. A while later, on a busy road, I noticed a litter bin on the pavement up ahead and stopped quickly, unzipped the cup and disposed of it. A couple of pedestrians seemed visibly scared by my behaviour.

Note the manufactured gas tower at the end of the scene. Don't see those anymore.
There was one just north of my office in Batterea, London. It was massive. It was eventually dismantled using the biggest mobile telescopic crane that I have ever seen. Here's a short clip about it.

It was strangely sad to see it go.
