Found a huge cock

We spent the day in Dorking today. I know it sounds strange, but a very good friend of ours lives there, and is about to open a wine bar (much to the shock and awe of the elderly locals).

Dorking is a very affluent and very scenic location in Surrey, and is famous not just for being the birthplace of Laurence Olivier, nor just for being the childhood home of Rafe Vaughan Williams.

No, its claim to fame is the famous Dorking Cock, a bird notable for its extra toe, and a revered and apparently very tasty cock it is too - so famed that it now has its own statue on one of this sainted town’s roundabouts...



Big, innit?
