superkitty Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If anyone has a couple of minutes to spare, it would be great if you could vote in this poll! Some of you may even fondly remember when Chicken Roundabout was populated by actual chickens - I do http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/poll_would_you_like_to_see_chicken_statues_brought_to_chicken_roundabout_1_1815443 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 of course I will I'd even drive over to see them. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks for this. I travelled especially to see it. I've read the book, which I thoroughly recommend. I bought it for my grandson, but read it and kept it for myself. I've been in touch with the author to encourage him to produce a Kindle version.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We've driven round the roundabout while visiting family down there. We'll be down that way again this summer - I've voted . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superkitty Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yay Glad it's not just me that remembers them! We are moving there in a couple of months so hopefully (when the parish council see sense) will be able to see the chicken statues every day!

superkitty Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just to clarify, we are not moving to Chicken Roundabout, we are moving to Ditchingham Although there's an idea...we could camp on the roundabout while our house is being renovated.
