Skip Watch with Branston Cowdell

Skips are not a purely British phenomenon. Lovely, chunky, shiny skips can be found all over the world (although in America they’re called Dumpsters for some reason! Americans eh!).
Oblong, narrow, wide, rhombus-shaped, Europe in particular has a fine display of skips. So much so that on my recent travels I took my camera and decided to take some photos of a few of my favourites.
Some skips can be bold and cocky like a German wrestler after five pints of Grolsch and a bratwurst bap. Others fade into the background like the kind of boy you went to school with but can never quite remember the name of (all you can recall is that he smelt a little bit funny).
The skips here (see photos) are all lovely. My favourite though is the long, thin green one from the suburbs of Barcelona.
Bello! (That’s ‘beautiful’ in Spanish)
