  • Heard on the radio and in the news recently that there is a new sculpture in St Austell akin to the angel of the north that's causing a lot of fuss. I'm on my down to Penzance so stopped by for a look.

    Very odd, it's all ceramic and 37ft tall.

    Lots of locals hate it, the lady in the purple jacket came over and told me as such before she told me she used to work in Woolworths in the 60's and how much she generally is sad about life.

  • Yeah it hasn't gone down too well locally. It is linked to the China Clay industry/heritage of the area but in such a deprived area, the general feeling (so I have heard) is money could have been spent on something perhaps a little more useful.

  • Yeah that's pretty much what the lady told me, and it cost £90,000.

    I guess tourism is a plus, it bought me in and I bought a pasty, a Danish and a coffee, so 30,000 more me's and it's community neutral.
