Local Man Spends £50,000 on Giant Flamingo Statue to Prove 'Common Sense' Is Stranger Than Heaven
Angry local resident Sarah Jenkins is fuming after her neighbour, Bob, installed a 12-foot-tall, glow-in-the-dark flamingo in his front garden. "The council does nothing about bins overflowing, but that man is allowed to build a flamingo that lights up the whole street at night? Common sense is 'stranger than heaven' around here," she fumed on the Facebook community group. "It's an eyesore and a waste of money, not to mention a safety hazard. Does he not have better things to spend his pension on?" The post has already gone viral, with hundreds of comments split between those calling for the statue to be removed and others hailing it as a "bold work of art."
