Deep Breath, is to be Blighted in the name of Modern Art with a giant Blue "French" Cockeral.

I am camping this weekend in Burnham Thorpe in the grounds of the vicarage where the great man grew up.

If this is sanctioned then I am going to raise a press gang in the "Nelson" after drinking a few tots of "Nelsons Blood"
and cycle upon London and Burn the bloody outrage down!!! How very dare they.

Bloody history revisionist and softy liberal pinkies, I aint having it and I m sure I can find many a like minded six fingered Norfolk men to join me on my quest.

    So the French are to be represented by a big chicken (or, if you look at it another way, a massive c*ck)?

    Oh well........... 8)
    Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy.

    Don't blame me for the spelling of Le Coq, I tried to put Giant C*ck in the original title and the sensors would not allow it , they auto changed it to fool, surely that should have been Fowl :D

    Cheers Papa.

    That's one Groovy Cockerel I wouldn't mind that on the fourth plinth. You should get Ezy Riders mate to do you a custom graphic of that as a head tube badge.

    I d go for something similar with the Raleigh Heron.
