DUNDEE — A batch of fictional Perthshire traffic cones lifted by Boelo has landed in Dundee and promptly closed a lane on the Kingsway “just to feel at home”.
Dundee’s own cones described the newcomers as “pushy”. Perth’s roads department said it would welcome them back “whenever they’re ready to talk”.
The real story: Fictional.
