Re: Glaswegian traffic cone tradition likely to stay.
Traffic cones are known as "witches hats" over here. I'm sure there are still laws on the books that would require that statue to be burnt at the stake. Particularly if it sunk after being thrown in a pond.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

The cones would float.

We call them "Road cones" here. And if we had statues of Wellington, I'd make it a point to properly decorate them, as much as I've lol'd over this thread.

What I don't understand about witches's hats, is that, in at time when they got burnt at the stake, why would you wear a fucking great advertising sign on your head that says ''I am a witch'' ?

Perhaps they wished to divert traffic as a last act of witchly defiance?

Gosh, I just got back from Disney and I forgot to pick up one of these for the Duke.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
