Boys will be boys….

The market town of Altrincham, Cheshire is understandably proud of it’s
Royal Charter, granted in 1290 and allowing the good citizens to meet weekly
and exchange goods and services - which they still do after all that time.
Civic pride is so great that a new statue was erected and dedicated just
last month to commemorate the famous stall-keepers and their diligent
service over the centuries.
However, Saturday night is Saturday night in any English town - so walking
across the marketplace on Sunday morning I was one of the first to see this
amusing reminder of the silliness that must have taken place after closing
time at the pub.
This is harmless fun - and much better than graffiti or vandalism - so I
hope the town council doesn’t get too hot under the collar and install a
fence or some other over-kill gesture.
