Like where i live in the u.k there is a statue of an erect penis in the middle of the city where the shops are so everyone can look at it or sit around it. It's huge (weighs 7 tonnes) and is called 'wote street willy' and is just like an art thing for our town- how lucky are we, no idea why it's there but you can sit around it if you want. So i s'pose our town is known for having a huge dick in the middle of it.
I'm not jokin' either!!
Have you any wierd things in you're area that make it stand out from the other cities?

i don't think anyone is going to top your towns monument,lol but in my town its a series of rather bizarre signs for the public, i'll give you my fave 3.
This is an actual sign above a public toilet in the town centre saying"Don't take alien orders" (whatever that means),lol
This is another actual sign above another public toilet
"Anti climb paint has been applied to this wall"
This is an actual sign/campaign in the railway station for non payment of fares
"Minimum penalty 500 pounds...Maximum penalty DEATH"
I know theyre only signs but theyre kind of making me want to go out and take orders from aliens,climb the wall and not pay my train fare...just to see what happens,lol. Either that or find more and write a stupid book on stupid signs in UK towns and have a bestseller,ha ha ...nice question...makes you think about where you live

Don't know about weird but here in Northampton, UK there is this huge ugly grey concrete tower called the express lift tower. Its empty now but they used to make and test lifts there. Its so ugly but apparently its a listed building now. There are loads of new houses built all round the base of it.
I wouldn't want to live within falling distance of that.
Locals call it the lighthouse even though we are nowhere near the coast.

How about that "statue" near Canary Wharf (East London UK) which is little more than a load of traffic lights all welded together?

I think we have the national training centre for chavs. Your local plonker might be the biggest but we've got the most.

My 60 year old neighbor woman that likes to wear a bikini to do her yard work. (She probably should have worn a bikini when she was 20)
