THE BLOXIDGE TALLYGRAPH

MUCH FUSS has been made lately of WALSALL'S CONCRETE HIPPO which has been hanging out on THE BRIDGE for DECADES, it seems.  Truly, its origins seem SHROUDED IN MYSTERY...

 

SO WHAT?  says THE FORRENER!  Is the eponymous AGGREGATE WATER HORSE symbolic of some other ASPECT OF THE BOROUGH  than the famous BEAR AND RAGGED STAFF?  Or is it just a convenient place to STUB OUT FAGS and DROP CHIP PAPERS?  Enlighten the poor folk of THE FOREIGN, please!

 

HERE IN BLOXWICH we have no need for SIX FOOT RECONSTITUTED DOOR-STOPS.  But we could SURELY find a place for a SCULPTURE more SYMBOLIC of the REBELLIOUS TENACITY of BLOXIDGE FOLK - perhaps a TWENTY-FOOT STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER in bronze?  I think so, MY FRIENDS!

 

BRUMMAGEM'S BRONZE BULL has pride of place in their CITY CENTRE.

 

WALSALL sets great store by a CONCRETE HIPPO, name of GEORGE.

 

Surely BLOXWICH must have a bloody great BRONZE STAFFIE on Bloxidge Green!

 

YOU KNOW it makes SENSE.  SO sayeth THE FORRENER.

 

Remember - I am watching...   The Forrener
