The Crate Escape!

Wednesday 02 September 2020

One of Guernsey Dairy's many missing milk crates has ended up on top of a Town lamp post.

The milk crate popped up over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Although we can only speculate as to how it got there, it appears quite finely poised, resting atop the lamp post like a fashionably cocked hat. 

The increasing number of missing crates has become a common problem for Guernsey Dairy in recent years. In June, the States-owned utility put out an appeal for milk crates to be returned, after around 1,000 disappeared in a matter of months. 

It is thought that some of the familiar orange and blue crates, which cost £13 each, might have been used for grocery deliveries during lockdown.

This one, however, appears to have found a new lease of life, at least for now.

What do you think of the crate? Is it street art or street trash? Let us know...
