You must have been to Dorking & seen that giant chicken on a roundabout capable of laying something as large as a Haggis

Sorry DD you have obviously not been to Dorking where the locals being so proud of their breed of hen have erected an overgrown silver replica on a roundabout . Once seen never forgotten . LSD doesn't come into it I'm afraid .
        When I get chance in the early summer to see the F.Trueman erection I shall then decide which I prefer .

If Anthony Gormley can put his statues in the Mersey why can't we put Fred Trueman in the canal?

How true ,
        I am of an age when I can remember horses were still pulling some of the canal barges which brought coal , sugar, syrup, flour etc to Skipton & had been since pre 1777 . If a statue had to forced upon Skiptonions why not something appertaining to the canal as it was the life blood of Skipton until trains arrived . Dewhursts wouldn't have built their mill but for the easy access to coal & neither would some weaving mills which used to be in the town.
          Why choose a person who's only claim to fame was that he lived fairly near to Skipton ? He had nothing whatsoever to do with the town & didn't have the decency to live in it .
Its sad that poor old Billy Gelling didn't see it as he would have thrown his pole at it .

Aha, "I see" said the blind man.
;)

To be honest, a monster chicken would be far more interesting than a statue of Truman, since I care more about boiled eggs than I do about cricket..

Followed by a giant tuna on the Canal front, a huge block of wensleydale cheese in Coach St. car park, and a monster banana on the town hall steps.
