'Gid's Tallywhacker'

Following a comment I made in response to one of Tombola's postings, Phillip Schofield asked me to elaborate on the story for everyone's enjoyment. In accordance with the Salt-n-pepper housewive's favourite, I here offer further coverage of the said story.

This story is set in the vibrant mining village of Cudworth (pronounced Cudeth for those that aren't familiar with the beautiful Barnsley tones). Cudeth has a park, formerly the 'miner's welfare park'. At the foot of the park once stood 'Cudworth Baths' - a fully-heated indoor swimming pool with a smaller learner pool thrown in for good measure. This facility was knocked down a fair few years ago, due to foundation problems (not the sort faced by a vast proportion of the beauty-challenged chavettes).

This facility isn't the focus of my posting, though it played in integral role. Rather, the topic of this post is quite possibly the most impressive piece of graffiti to be found in these parts. It was by no means an artistic masterpiece - its magnificance was simply a function of its magnitude. The graffiti was actually inscribed with the name of the piece ('Gid's Tallywacker'), just so the local art appreciators knew who the the piece was depicting. I fear that if I describe the piece anymore, I will only succeed in doing it a disservice. Instead, I have done my best to try to capture the beauty of the piece in the form of a rough approximation, which I have pasted below. Marvel at it. Go on, marvel!
