Jolly Roger...


Is the crane operator on the site of Boscombe Spa Village trying to tell us something? The flag being flown from the top is known in pirate circles as the Jolly Roger, or Skull and Crossbones. It was historically flown to identify pirate activity, and this design, used by Edward England, dates back to around 1720.
I'm sure the driver has a valid reason for adorning his crane the way he has (although it beats me!).
