Default Talking cactus in Duthie Park / Facebook group
Hi there,

I went to Duthie Park for the first time in ages today, and noticed that the talking cactus wasn't there anymore. The kids in the Winter Gardens looked about three times as bored as I ever was as a child. If there was still a talking cactus there's no way that this'd be the case.


Please join my Facebook group regarding this important matter at REINSTATE THE TALKING CACTUS IN DUTHIE PARK | Facebook

Thanks.

What's your point? It should still be reinstated, without question.

Yes! Spike!

The bobbing frog is there (nothing weird about it!), though time has certainly ravaged poor McPuddock's once youthful features. I mean how much is a tin of paint?!

McPuddock!

Years of schoolkids launching coppers at him in a bid to make him rise to the surface of the water probably hasn't helped much.

They could be using those coppers to paint him!
