    ... when the local hero sports a bollard on his head. Sadly, this year there is no can of Fosters in the outstretched hand or ladies underwear around the torso. But the local lads will probably save that for the royal wedding.

    He has got rather a waaaayeee pose which lends itself to the headgear, don't you think? He's supposed to be beckoning towards the east. Unfortunately some cowboy Victorian builder set him up to point north. Sheesh.
