Bunch of lads decide to fix a bike rack at 3am in Boston, Lincs

[editor]

See? Britain's not all that bad, really.

A group of revellers in a Lincolnshire town were caught by CCTV cameras as they fixed a bike rack on a night out.

The five men had been outside a takeaway in Boston when they noticed a damaged metal bike rack.

Footage shows the group spending almost 13 minutes straightening the metal hook at 03:00 BST.

Boston Borough Council said it was surprised by their actions and called it "public spirited".

The metal rack had been damaged when a car reversed into it. It had been left unrepaired for several weeks.

This is what community looks like. It's like the fifties all over again, except one of them might have been Polish.

There were loads of Polish here in the fifties. Helped us fight off the Nazis in the Battle of Britain.

Most exciting thing to happen in Boston since they cheated their way into the Football League ten years ago

Although there probably weren't that many Poles in Boston back then. They may have been brave, but they weren't that brave.

Boston is named after St Botolph, patron saint of travellers. Clearly his miraculous works live on.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were all arrested shortly afterwards for criminal damage.

Or littering, I am sure that guy who was given a take-away meal by his friend put it down on the pavement and forgot all about it.

Quite a few settled in Bristol and we have quite a large Polish church close to where I live who apparently were overjoyed when the pews began to fill back up in recent years. There's still a Polish ex-serviceman's club in Clifton.

I've known several people with very Polish surnames and very Bristolian accents over the years! And BlackArab may remember a certain Lee Zabek...

I grew up knowing Czech and Hungarian families also in St Pauls in the 70s but I think they arrived in the 50's and 60's

That and the fact that everyone used to call him 'Lisa Beck'. At least they made an effort which is more than many did for Vitas...

Yeah! Bloody forigners - coming over here and fixing our street furniture! I blame the government.

I've been to Boston. St Botolph's church, and the hospital are the only interesting buildings in the town. There's some nice tractors on the roads round there though. I vaguely recall a nice supermarket, and lots of farm shops where you can buy potatoes.
