How many can remember the stumps of burned-off iron railings everywhere? You didn't want to snag your knee or your bum on these things!

@Gorps I remember being told that at the start of WW2, all the metal railings had been cut off and taken away to be melted down for “the war effort”. Then I heard that all the railings they had gathered together wouldn’t even make a tank and it was just an exercise to impress people that there was a war on.
