A walk into Chatham throws up many questions but as I
wandered down past the station last Monday, crossed the bus waiting area and
emerged round the corner of the Alexandra pub, a sight caught my eye which sent
my imagination into overdrive trying to come up with an amusing idea with which
to explain it.
Was this someone’s failed attempt at a well known Chatham
tradition, one usually fuelled by copious imbibement of alcohol mixed with high
spirits , a practical joke that seemed like a good idea at the time until an
attack of vertigo signalled that maybe it would be a good idea to abort this
mission as they don’t relish the thought of spending the night sitting in
Medway A&E.
No, my assumption is that Thomas Waghorn upon seeing a
growing trend amongst street entertainers for pretending to be statues has
decided to capitalize on his greatest skill and that there in front of him is
his hat tossed down on the ground for any welcome donations.
