"Last spurt before year ends!"
Fountain on Sutton Court Road has an admirer
Just after 5pm on Tuesday 30th December a water valve failed as a Thames Water engineer tried to make repairs on the mains supply to the block of flats adjacent to Paul's Newsagent on Sutton Court Rd.
Police arrived
and contained the flow - of traffic that is - while the big boys arrived.
The pressure was great enough to produce a fountain as high as the street
lamp and to soak passing E3 double deckers !
I asked the water engineer about the Chiswick rival to Trafalgar Square
to which he replied "yeah, and I got a nuver 3 calls tonight after
this!" - sorry if you were next on the call-out list !
I personally thought it was far more impressive and probably cheaper,
than the Chiswick Christmas lights which I drove past 3 times before I
noticed them !
Who would like to see a proper fountain somewhere in Chiswick instead
of another statue ?? Time for a poll ..........
