Phil's reports are more akin to works of Homer in comparison.

"People in Bury St Edmunds have been speculating as to how a traffic cone came to be sat atop a statue of the town's namesake."

I doubt too much speculation is needed really.

I'm tempted to leap in and take a guess at some males and beer being involved.

I read that before the picture had loaded on my phone and assumed that the statue would be high up off the ground and difficult to reach. Was imagining some drunk taking his life in his hands to climb podium and statue with cone.

Turns out anyone 5ft tall or more could have just plonked it whilst staggering by...

What Glasgow did forty years ago, Bury St. Edmunds does today:

Presumably the EADT will be running a special with colour supplement when the cone is replaced with a length of turf and St. Edmund has a mohawk...

How would these vandals feel if they knew the sculptor took this *very* personally and has been in tears ever since? I doubt they'd find their actions funny then.

I'll say to him the same as Kelvin MacKenzie did on Black Wednesday. Then he might actually get off his arse and do something about it.

In fairness, I've come to respect Mr Major a lot more in recent years. His interventions on Brexit in particular have been very good.

More or less dull than the life of the kind of person who posts a provincial hack's work on a football message board and replies to it in kind?

It certainly is. I remember the post on here but hadn't realised (or I'd just forgotten) that it had got picked up by the press. Five minutes on here should have been enough for them to realise not to take anything at face value.

I hope he's had the book thrown at him for taking photos whilst driving.
