I've always liked the idea of the players being led out by the ladies and gentlemen of the Shropshire Hunt as the ceremonial bell rings.

I imagine that bell thing is a reference to the Liberty Bell, which is in Philadelphia and is the second most disappointing tourist attraction I've ever visited. It's literally a bell, with a crack in it.

What was the first most disappointing? It must have been bad to be more underwhelming than the Liberty Bell.

Oh, can we pinch (or create a new one) of that mechanical bull  from the commonwealth games? That'd be ace

I'm going to make a prediction here, this thread is going to go off topic.

Mine would be the Bridge on the River Kwai, it took half a day to get there and not only was it underwhelming, it was apparently about 3 miles away where the proper one once stood.

Let's leave the bull to Blues.

The Mannequin Pis in Brussels.

I knew it was basically a statue of a boy having a slash, which in itself sets expectations low, but I didn't realise it was about a foot high at most.

True, thought it might make a good subject for a Friday Forum.

Yeah, I think I'm with you on that. The other one which is at a similar level of "is that it?' was the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen.

I was thinking of that one, perhaps someone on here had said that before, although, the clues to its dimensions are there.

There was. I did contribute but can’t for the life of me remember the tourist attraction I thought was shite.
