Mystery after fake green sheep's scarves removed

Mystery surrounds the removal of scarves that were placed around the necks of fake green sheep.



The plastic flock was first installed on a roundabout on the A283 in Shoreham-by-Sea in November 2011 to promote the South Downs National Park.

The animals were then removed by the county council after motorists thought they were real, but were reinstated on Tuesday with a life-sized shepherd. A businessman then put scarves on them, which were taken off 24 hours later.



Paul Richards, director of Sussex Marine Watersports, said he put the scarves on them on Wednesday to "put a smile on people's faces". He said the garments could not have blown off since they had been tied on. West Sussex County Council declined to comment.

Ok, you people are deriving far too much entertainment from these green plastic sheep. Best stop it before John Cleese shows up in his underwear.
