I believe gang members in the hood started hanging trainers from telephone lines as a mark of respect to and to remember killed gang members in the USA.

I remember as a young lad going to my Grandad's house & for years there was a pair of clackers, wrapped round a telephone line, always amused me & had me wondering how many goes it took to get them on the wire For those of you not old enough to remember clackers, google it, it's nothing rude

Mudsticks not the same ones. Don’t remember these but there is a pic on the Facebook page of the one left near Salen and definately trainers. The timber jetty is about 4 or 5 miles in the opposite direction.

The plot thickens.. The booties are (were) definitely within a few miles of timber jetty - some distance westwards I'd say.

Trainers over cables indicate a drug dealer is active in the area, or is that just an urban myth?

Probably an urban myth: there's a drug dealer active in every area, trust me.

Yeah, you're right dude...

But, there is some seriously good sh*t available on Mull

We now have some exposed beams indoors.
It is so much fun to try and throw 1m chains of bauble decorations up and over the beams rather than use the sensible step ladder method.

There's a collection of trainers hanging from a chain by the Thames at Battersea. I always assumed that they were some kind of a shrine to someone who died. Some people have suggested that they are just put there by beachcombers who find them at low tide. View attachment 442793

They were all that remained of the one-legged rowing team that tragically sunk in a heavy storm.

With no trainers on the telegraph wires then how will the junkies know drugs are for sale in the area?

What about the traffic cone on the statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow? Don't tell me that's been blown off as well?

There will be queue of people waiting to replace it

Probably just a text to the local dealer
Technology and all that!!
