        Heh yes I'd worked my way down through Malaysia to the Indonesian islands...there's a lot of them though...

          Been away from this thread during a busy week, and frustrated as I might have had a chance on Noumea since we’ve been there. My daughter is going back in a couple of weeks as it happens. Anyway, despite having contributed zero, there seems to be a lull while many are asleep so I will pop in a couple of views from the same spot, which I doubt will challenge:

                Just off to bed now but I'm glad Sits has provided suitable nightmare fuel.

                The haunted children are placed all around the speed bumps so probably a bizarre driving safety initiative of some kind, most likely near a school

                  it is right by a school - those yellow zig zags give me flashbacks. The school driveway is inbetween on the left.

                      Hell's teeth, I was about to try to sleep as well.


                      Sweet dreams, children.

                        'Child bollards' apparently and there seems to have been a craze for them with councils so they're in loads of places. Here are some doppelgänger in West Acton

                          And you people think we are weird

                            I must say though I think they might make me slow down. But they might also make me emergency stop and get rear-ended by the vehicle behind.

                              Maidenhead. I wonder if anybody on the board went to school in Maidenhead by any chance?

                              Actually off to bed now

                                Well played Fussers; funnily enough, the demon children wear the uniform of Courthouse Junior School which I did happen to attend between 1971 and 1975. It's not changed much other than we weren't allowed long trousers, and had to wear ties. The flats in the first view (Greenlands Court) are also significant as I lived in two of those visible. When my parents split in 1970 we moved with my Mum and stepdad to the middle flat in the base of the U shaped block (the balcony door is visible to the left of the big conifer). I incurred two injuries requiring hospital visits while in that flat, both self inflicted I hasten to add. The upstairs neighbours were so loud we sold, then moved to the top floor flat over on the right.

                                It was a handy trip to school.

                                  Jeez, I come on to this thread looking to pass the time this evening and am greeted by those... things. They're even worse when you get closer and see their blurred out faces.

                                    And beyond the school, guarded by the silent sentinels is a youth centre where I took the future Mrs. S to a disco on one of our first dates.

                                      Their faces are blurred. Oh sorry, cross post with S. aureus

                                        I notice those West Acton kids are a lot cooler than their stitched-up Home Counties cousins.

                                            Is there a squid game theme park now?

                                              Not sure. Somewhere, probably. Hell - there is a house that has a Stranger Things theme round here that has ended up in a massive legal fight with neighbors. I don't watch Stranger Things, but apparently their levitating figure was a BIG hit on TikTok.

                                                  Bugger, I was going to have the Squid Game doll mural in Linthorpe as the next one to continue the theme but the StreetView is a few months too old
