PERTH — The Scott Street chimney, last week’s celebrity, has asked the storm to “respect my angle”. The cordon around the site remains a sensible place not to be.
Fans — mostly pigeons — have been told to watch from home. “Boelo is not my director,” said the chimney. “I decide when I’m finished.” Please follow council advice and keep clear of the area.
