Red Tat Bin

Princeton University’s Word Net defines “tat” as:

Tastelessness by virtue of being cheap and vulgar

Curious then that this word has been chosen to adorn a bin in a park in North Yorkshire. The object in question was spotted by my sister and her husband at the weekend. She writes:

The tat-bin was spotted just inside the gates of Grimston Park, Nr. Tadcaster on Saturday 17th Feb. ”¦ We have no idea what the bin is meant to collect, as it was on a grass verge and a long way from the residential areas of the park.

SLAB is especially intrigued by the rudimentary rocket-fin wooden legs, and the self confident use of lower-case Cooper Black lettering.

Thanks to Zoë and Ewan.
