Tacky Or What???
I could not really find a category to fit this, so this seemed the least inappropriate!

Motorists in SW England are those most likely to know what I mean by "the orange tank".
The ex-Army, lightweight tank painted in incongruous orange, next to the M5 motorway near Bristol, as if about to attack the Cribbs Causeway shopping-centre.
Driving past it the other night I noticed it illuminated with Christmas-tree lights and a large inflatable Father Christmas figure (this early in November) - and at least one great big plastic Armistice Day poppy.
I have not the faintest idea why it is even there in the first place, and it has been there for a few years now; but Oh Dear, one has to wonder at its owner....

I don't mind the annual Dressing of the Sheep with Christmas hats, on that A37 roundabout by Shepton Mallet, though! That is a lot more restrained, and really rather delightfully whimsical.
