    The Captain Tom mural in Pallion. I think it is fantastic.

    I hate to be pedantic, about something so good, but it should be 'Captain Sir Tom Moore' ...

    ... sorry mate, I don't make the rules.

    (Captain Sir Thomas Moore to be even more so.)

    I noticed that but should be easy fixed given the way those type of things are put together. Looks brilliant though.

    The rainbow across his forehead has me a touch confused mind, not sure it needed that.

    Otherwise, pretty terrific.

    Early on we were encouraged to put pictures of rainbows in our windows as a sign of support for the NHS.

    My local NHS emergency field hospital was called Ysbyty Enfys Glannau Dyfrdwy - Rainbow Hospital Deeside.

    Captain Tom was raising money for the NHS relief fund that was used to pay for things like de-stressing rooms to be set up on wards.

    I didn't realise the connection between the rainbow and NHS.

    I was wondering if he was into the fellas

    Nowt to do with the subject matter, but, personally, I'd be fuming if that was in my street.

    His moustache seems to be more (goes higher up) on the left than the right.

    Seen it, it's good but it's actually an advert for some paint or paint store. Only seen it while driving so haven't totally registered the written bit.
