What have  they done with all the padlocks?

This morning.

The Hapenny Bridge, Dublin, adorned with over 5,000 red roses from Aldi Ireland.

 Tomorrow, on Valentine’s Day itself, Dublin City Council will be handing out thousands of  Aldi flowers and Irish chocolates on three different Dublin bridges– the Ha’penny Bridge, Capel Street Bridge and the Millennium Bridge… ‘

The council’s Dublin at Valentine’s’ have also created an Alternative Love Trail around the city. Guerilla Love Poetry will also feature on the three bridges, and will see poets, performers and wordsmiths wooing the public with their love poems and sonnets….

    I’d be more impressed with Aldi if they stopped using zero-hour contracts and allowed their staff to unionise.

    The padlocks wrer removed because they cause rust damage to the bridge. Most small padlocks are made from low grade metal & alloys which rust & react with the rain water, dripping various chemicals onto the bridge steelwork.

      The bridge doesn’t have steelwork, it’s cast iron. Which is the problem – the different metals in the padlocks react to the cast iron itself, destroying it. The phrase you want to google is “galvanic corrosion”.
