    ok so maybe they've been taken away ages ago fo what ever reason. But I only noticed last week that the metal balls at the back of Shaws were gone anyone know where they went or the reason they were taken away.

    I liked them, that's why I ask

    Trish, I always thought those things were a death trap and an insurance claim waiting to happen. They did indeed look nice but were totally impratical in a major pedestrian thoroughfare.

    a lot of them were kicked off by scumbags... I saw 2 guys about 15 yrs old kicking them until they snapped off....

    ...until which snapped the balls or their ankles?

    The mind boggles.
    @Freddie59 true they were indeed a death trap but once you fell over them once you learned the second time.

    the balls seemed to be made of brinze, but are hollow.... they kicked them until the metal peg underneath snapped off...

    Yeah, I had noticed a few of them having been snapped off a few times and eventually they disappeared altogether. I think that was a while ago.
