Reading the Daily Post, I am disappointed to read that some people are being critical of the sculpture, calling it “scrap” and saying the council have paid for it.
Even if the sculpture were made out of scrap metal (and in a way, I hope it was) there is no need to be negative about it. If the council had paid for it (and the creator says not), then it’s the first worthwhile expenditure they’ve made in years!
And, looking closely, I think the miner is leaning on a pick axe, not taking a pee. My dad used to tell me there was never time for a pee down the pit!!!
