Has a lamp post ever talked to you?

Apparently in this place http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/talking-lamp-posts-mean-80pc-drop-in-seaside-dog-fouling-29838361.html

I've often seen the poor things shivering in the cold winds and quite pondered going outside to reassure them all is ok
.
So AH, share your experiences of lamp posts talking to you and you talking back to them!;)

A lamppost walked into me before! 'twas pretty impressive as I was drunk and swerving all over the path.

Kids are curious beings. They pick up the dog poo and the bacteria in it can be harmful to them.

True. You're not supposed to start eating it until you turn 18, at which point it becomes completely safe.

Talking lamp posts?

No but I once heard a crow say 'feck'. It did it several times. Reckon it had been hand reared at some stage... Funniest thing ever.

I never talked to one but have often .....
leaning on a lamp-post at the corner of the street,
In case a certain little lady comes by.
Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by.
I don't know if she'll get away, She doesn't always get away,
But anyhow I know that she'll try.
Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by,

What voice is it doing the talking? I'm picturing the warnings done in a ruff doggy accent.

It didn't answer me.

Only the black lampposts talk to me

I took an Hofmanns trip one night. A small man on a bike was pictured on it. Very nice trip. Had a great night. Laughing and chatting all night.
Ended up having grand old chat with the lamp post up the road from me. Sound out but a bit straight for me.

That was many years ago. I often smile and nod my head at it as I pass it today.....

Good times

My doctor gave me the wrong prescription drugs a few years back and I ended up stopped in front of a lamp-post and was talking to it. To my utter astonishment, the lamp-post talked back and told me to piss-off so I did.

I only realised later that I was drugged up, so unless there was a CCTV camera with a speaker on it that might explain the talking lamp-post thing.
