My partner's brother used to work for the local town council as a gardener. One year, when he & his colleagues were planting bulbs that would flower in a couple of months' time, in the flower beds at the centre of the town's main roundabouts, they were told they were going to be made redundant because of funding cuts.

They carried on planting the bulbs, and when they flowered later in the year every roundabout had a big floral display that spelled BOLLOCKS.

(Happily, photographs were taken before the council rushed to dig them all up.)
