Funny things when out and about
When I was out walking on Sunday on an old disused railway line there was a side path and at the top of the path was a sign "Defibrilator" with an arrow pointing of to the left. The only place off to the left was a cemetery. Perhaps it was a bit late to use.

Defibrilator
The cemetary is visible in the distance beyond the path I leads nowhere else. Near the white tree trunk there are the grave stones.

If this was another forum then I feel by now someone would be speculating whether the wooden fence signals private property and the barbed wire carries 132,000 volts diverted from the National grid pylon to keep trespassers out. In some countries private property is sacrosanct and its protection gives owners a lot of leeway. The defibrillator might be the recommendation of the "lawyers" to keep the electrified barbed wire legal
John, if you follow the sign do you get to a box with the defibrillator? It is one of these almost quirky things in terms of the thinking behind its position that would drive me to try and find out its origins Might have to wait until the Corona crisis is over but someone who looks after records at the local council might be able to shed light on it?

Defibrilator
No I didn't bother, however it is a genuine sign erected by the council. There is one in my village and another about half a mile from where this on is on the edge of the shopping area.
As I said there is nothing beyond the path apart from the entrance to the cemetary |

John, I can't now get out of my head the scene in the film "Hot Shots" a spoof of Top Gun in which Charlie Sheen acting nonchalantly to impress a woman naval doctor walks into a high voltage room by mistake and realising his mistake tries to get out immediately and you see his skeleton silhouetted in the intense light against the doors He survives of course. No animals or humans were harmed during the making of this film as they always say
