I was just wondering if anyone knew why there was a big big foot/carved muscley man hiding in the bushes off the Parkway. I's on the left when you re-join from Asda. My boyfriend pointed it out to me the other day and it gave me a big shock!

It's not a bigfoot claiireee. An explanation of what it is can be found here:

He's lasted seven years so far.
