After seeing Isambard Kingdom Brunel, voted the second greatest Briton of all time in one recent BBC poll, summarily DISGRACED by two of NSC's finest in Bristol on Saturday, post your favourite (or crappest) statues, with or without Albion adornments...

In Ipswich town centre, by way of tribute to the cartoonist Giles

Dublin: big on statues. Oscar Wilde (colloquially known to locals, apparently, as "the fag on the crag"), Molly Malone ("the tart with the cart"), Phil Lynott ("the ace with the bass"), James Joyce ("the prick with the stick")
