What Were Those Things??
34 Answers
Visiting Ireland several times in the 1970s & 80s, I regularly saw these strange wooden blocks (usually painted white) sitting on peoples' front lawns.
Exactly what their purpose was (apart from decorative?), I never did find out.
I've tried searching Google Images to no avail. They were simple blocks of wood with four legs sticking out at various angles.
Can anyone shed some light? Not that I want to buy any (having no garden puts pay to that) - just curious.

As gness previously said .. if you have a lawn in Ireland then you would be known as posh.
Imagine you thought you were posh and owned a lawn .. then you would not want the other commoners parking on it, because they wouldn't recognize a lawn if they seen one .... grass is grass tp most people, but not to posh people !
Bet they were anti parking thingys .. something easily created and something you wouldn't drive your car over. Painted white so you can see them when you are driving over the lawn at night on your way back from the pub !
