Nanny Bans Christmas Cock

My thanks to a loyal reader who pointed me in the direction of this piece of seasonal Nanny nonsense, imposed by Mole Valley District Council on Dorking's cockerel statue.

It seems that some "guerrilla knitters" did some seasonal decoration upon the cockerel to make it look like a Christmas tree, complete with lights, baubles and a large silver star on his head.

However, within 12 hours Mole Valley District Council had removed the display, claiming that the statue had been damaged.

Council leader Chris Townsend told the Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser:
"MVDC welcomes the ever-increasing festive spirit being displayed in Dorking as Christmas approaches.

We have embraced the often spectacular decorations which have adorned the iconic cockerel in the past but, on this occasion, it has been necessary to remove the Christmas decorations with which it was adorned over the weekend.

This decision was taken after a close inspection raised concerns about the cumulative damage, caused by a range of factors, that risked the long-term condition of the statue.

The council will be looking to see what repairs might be required in the New Year."
Knit 'n' Knatter group leader Clare Davies said:

"We take very great care not to do anything to damage him because we respect him totally," said the North Holmwood resident.

If we thought we were going to hurt him in any way we would not do it. We make sure we only use soft rope and string to put anything on him."
The lesson here is, treat your cockerel with respect this Christmas lest Nanny punishes you.

  1. As far as I can tell, it appears that the only crime the knitters committed was that they were enjoying themselves and having fun. Nanny hates people to enjoy themselves, especially if Nanny isn't providing that enjoyment.

    Just laugh at Hi-Viz and tell Nanny to ram it!

    As I understand it Chicken refers to the species so is gender neutral. Hen refers to a female Chicken and Cock to the male.
