Smarty top


It's very rare to come across plastic smarty tops these days as now smarties don’t seal their tubes with plastic any more. I have found numerous tops over the years. The reason why I sound this one is because some garden maintenance had taken places and revealed the top. Years ago I came across a rare blue Rowntree Mackintosh version before nestle bought them out in the 1080’s. Just in the same way it had been unearthed through builders erecting a new building within the grounds of a college in the early 2000’s.

‘ L aughing G as’ canisters found in city Found two of these metal bottle shaped canisters not far from the city. They’re laughing gas or hippy crack as they contain nitrous oxide. If inhaled could be fatal. They’re meant to be used by the medical profession to numb the pain of patients. Artists Gilbert and George’s exhibition in London 2014 bought these to my attention as they feature a lot round where they live in Whitechapel, East London.
