"Junior" and his new mate

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 26 September 2017 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

"Junior" couldn't quite believe how silly the folks of Hartlepool are, first they hung a monkey in the belief that it was a Napoleonic spy, then they erected a statue to commemorate a Daily Mirror comic character! Well the late cartoonist Reg Smythe should be happy that the people of the North East appreciated the odd laughs.

Happy Silly Tuesday folks.

A statue dedicated to Andy Capp. I wonder what long suffering Flo thinks about that?
