Some irreverent but humorous person has placed a road cone on the statue of St Peter's Church, Beckenham. The church is closed and surrounded by safety fencing, (earthquake damage) but someone was brave enough to give St Peter an alternative to the Keys of the Church. Poor St Peter, his road cone is sadly munted; it looks like a truck has gone over it.
Reminds me of a mis-translation I saw on the website of the Accademia Gallery in Venice. The title of a painting "Madonna della Candelletta" (Madonna of the Little Candle) had been translated as "Madonna of the Sparkplug" by Google. I suppose this is the Madonna you pray to when your car won't start.
