TIGER TO REPLACE PENIS IN FRONT GARDEN
Withering resident Arthur Snoad has built a 17-foot high statue of a tiger sitting inside a petrol tank to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of rationing.
The creation, which has sparked controversy among neighbours in Buckminster Close, will be ceremonially unveiled later today. It stands on the same spot as an 8-foot phallus, which Mr Snoad was forced to remove from his garden last September by order of Froghill Council.
Half a century ago today, on May 14, 1957, Paymaster General Reginald Maulding announced in the Commons that due to stocks having reached a “satisfactory” level after the Suez crisis, fuel rationing would cease.
“I felt it important to mark this anniversary,” said 48 year-old Mr Snoad, “as the easing of restrictions led directly to seminal British inventions like the mini skirt, the rotary clothes line, the spacehopper and the salt and vinegar crisp.”
Asked for her opinion of Mr Snoad’s latest erection, neighbour Maureen Willoughby said: “Well, I ask you, what with his penis and his tiger - he’s obviously bonkers, isn’t he?”
