Objections To Flower Pot
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) LONDON, May 7. Residents of Rawlings street, a quiet, exclusive backwater in Chelsea, are upset over a resident’s use of a lavatory bowl as a giant flower-pot outside her door, the “Evening News” reported. .The resident, an inferior decorator. Miss Hermione
Dell, was told that other residents in the street—writers, politicians and professional men—were organising a petition to get her to remove it. The bowl—complete with lid—is firmly cemented to Miss Deli’s front doorstep and is sprouting petunias, creepers and ivy. Miss Dell said last week: “I'm afraid I have no intention of removing it. I was told
about the petition by my next door neighbour this morning. "I’m afraid that the people round here are a bit ’nose in the air,' and this is exactly the way they go about things. “No-one has the courage to approach me face to face and ask me to move it. They’ll wait until they’ve got 3000 signatures or something and then it’U be pushed through my door.”
