Is it the Brooks see-saw?  If so, it was molished by the staff in the Brooks factory.  I took the pic on our tour there a couple of years ago.

Box Hill? I am only having trouble telling because if it is there is not a layer of cyclists three deep at the top... ;)

I am not middle aged yet! ;)

I like a run out to Box Hill and back from home as it only takes a couple of hours and the ride up Headley and then down Lodgebottom Road and Headley Lane towards Juniper Hill is very lovely indeed. I even like going up Box Hill- the road is lovely and it is usually fairly devoid of cars and cyclists even at peak times. In fact I am not sure how most of the people and bikes get to the top of the hill. Unless they drive there...

My boy also loves Box Hill because of the wooded bits and the little exploring section with the logs etc. He has not yet persuaded us to let him roll down the hill yet...

That's wrong in so many ways. What did a penguin ever do to a narwhal? Steal it's hemisphere?
Title: Re: Saw this and thought of you lot
Post by: Kim on 22 May, 2015, 02:28:44 pm
It's sillier than that:

Quote
The Avenging Narwhal, with his whale body and unicorn horn, has long struggled with his looks. In school, he was constantly teased by a clique of adorable penguins. He was ostracized for years, but he never stood up for himself. Then, during study hall, he intercepted a note intended for a penguin. At that moment, the Avenging Narwhal's life changed forever: he had uncovered the penguin conspiracy to take over the world. For decades, penguins have employed a propaganda campaign of nature documentaries and animated films. The people of earth became enamored with their clumsy gait; their monogamy; their flightlessness; their darling survival mechanism of huddling their blubber-covered bodies together for warmth. While we were hypnotized by penguin preciousness, we failed to see the reality—that each penguin was a megalomaniacal genius intent on full control of humans.

The Avenging Narwhal has since made it his duty to crush the penguins' evil plot by piercing them in their cute bellies with his magical tusk, thereby reducing the number of waddling, formalwear-clad threats to humanity. So, while your friends and neighbors talk about how cute penguins are and how they look like they're wearing tiny tuxedos, you'll know that the true friend of the world is the homely, but heroic, Avenging Narwhal, who has devoted his life to ending the penguin scourge.


TBH, I think he's got the wrong waddling formalwear-clad threats to humanity.

In St Petersburg. Understand that I can't speak Russian, but I can read Cyrillic now....just about.

Transliterated into English, I read the wording on the sign underneath the pyramid as "Biking Bank"

(ACTUALLY, it reads VIKING Bank, but when I first saw it I made the common error of reading "B" instead of "V" which made me think of you lot...so here it is anyway)
