Over 98% of Radstockians still haven’t got a clue what that big wheel in the centre of Radstock actually is, a recent survey has revealed.
For years the large, green wheel has proudly been on display in the centre of the town outside the museum for all to see, despite the vast majority of residents not having the foggiest as to what it actually is.
Local resident Iain Peacock walks past the wheel every day to work,
“Honestly I thought it was some odd, abstract work-of-art. Kind of like when a pretentious arty twat puts a poo on a chair and asks for £5 million for it.”
“That or a really big sewing machine.”
Jerome Bustyfield, a local historian working for the museum, lamented on the survey’s results.
“It’s a sad day when such an iconic monument could be mistaken for, as one resident put it, ‘a really shit windmill’.”
When asked what the wheel actually was, Bustyfield shrugged,
“I don’t know, it was already here when I started.”
