..that the youth of today do have a sense of humour, either that or I’ve probably been laughing at something that nobody else will find funny.

Yesterday after I’d finished work myself, Al and Kelly headed to our “local” to watch the England match (3-2 what a result) anyway ,on the way we had to cross Queen Square passing the black staute of Prince Albert, or as its known locally, The Man on the Horse.. as we got nearer we could see 2 police cars, 4 policemen and a BIG crowd of kids staring up at the horse and everyone (including the police) were giggling.

Some bright spark had, instead of being deliberatly destructive and wasting their time running round town with a can of spray paint , taken the time and exerted the enegy into climbing onto the back of the statue and sprayed the horses’ genitals white with fake snow!!

The whole episode was made funnier as the culprits were all wearing black themselves and covered in the stuff, yet still tried denying all knowledge to the amused police, they were let off with a quick telling off as they hadn’t really done any damage, after all it was only fake snow not paint, and everyone had had a good laugh about it.

BUT what was funnier was arriving at the same spot this morning, just in time to see the Remeberance Service Parade and watching the veterans faces as they arrived on Queen Square to be confronted with the back end of a black horse with a huge pair of white…. well you can use your imagination lets just say that the statue is very life like and all in proportion!!
