Nice new statue has appeared on Worthing's seafront.

Shame about the back story.

If you've taken a walk down Worthing beach recently, you could be forgiven for wondering why on earth there is a statue of a baby elephant.

The story behind it is tinged with sadness and stretches back almost 100 years. It commemorates the life of a baby elephant named Jumbo, who washed up on Worthing beach almost 100 years ago. In November 1926, two fisherman stumbled across the lifeless body of a baby elephant when they were walking along Worthing beach.

The baby elephant was being transported on a ship which got caught in a rough storm and sank somewhere off the Kent coast, near the town of Deal. The young calf, who was being transported as part of a travelling circus, sadly perished in the water.

WTF is wrong with the UK? I really am glad I got out.

OK, I don't like temporary traffic lights, and I certainly don't like McDonalds...but abusing people from the water board for digging up the road? Anti-vaxers, I guess.
