It's a relatively small community. Under 1k users; just keep it alive. I'll keep in mind to drop a question here next time

The law requires a bale of straw to be hung from a bridge as a warning to mariners whenever the height between the river and the bridge’s arches is reduced, as it is at Charing Cross at the moment.

According to the Port of London Thames Byelaws, Clause 36.2, a bale of straw has to be placed under London bridges β€œwhen the headroom of an arch or span of a bridge is reduced from its usual limits”.

At night, the bale of straw is harder to see, so some warning lights are also switched on.

Quite why a bale of straw is needed has long since been lost to time, but regardless of its origins, whenever the river bylaws are updated, they kept the medieval bale of hay law intact.

Thanks for the answer, I understand. Personally I feel like it shouldn't be taxable, in a similar way the Germany guy explains it. There is no tipping culture where I live though.

Green was so obvious once singled out, I couldn't believe I didn't pick it up earlier
