Bent Fulford Road post sparks Uri Geller jokes in York

URI Geller strikes again in York… or at least that is what it looks like according to this photo.

The image shows a traffic post bent over in Fulford Road.

The photo was taken by Garry Hornby who posted it in The Press’ popular Camera Club group on Facebook.

Fellow Camera Club member Jonathan Allison joked in reply: “Didn’t realise he was that bad at driving…”.

The bent post comes just two months after a similar episode in Exhibition Square, just outside the City Art Gallery and historic Bootham Bar.

Press reporters also took some photos of the post, which we published at the time.

The post was later repaired.

The new photo has called to mind the mysterious abilities of Geller who became world famous for his trademark television performances of spoon bending and other illusions.
