Mystery over Cornwall’s ‘great wall of sex toys’ along the A39
Sightings of mugs, cups, and teapots of all sorts have appeared on the wall on the A39 between Falmouth and Cornwall for many years.
Cornwall’s ‘Great Wall of China’ – which is normally lined with ceramic mugs – has been taken over by a display of sex toys.
Sightings of mugs, cups, and teapots of all sorts have appeared on the wall on the A39 between Falmouth and Truro for many years.
Sometimes the ornaments are seen for weeks, months, or years – and there is even a Facebook page dedicated to the sightings of the bewildering trinkets.
However, on New Year’s Eve, the wall was decorated by a somewhat different display as the mugs had all been replaced with brightly coloured dildos.
Mark Woolcock says he was driving along the A39 when he saw a row of them placed on the wall.
He snapped some photos and said: ‘I just love the wit and humour involved with the whole story- the secret appearance (and then disappearance) of mugs, the addition of an occasional tea-pot and now this. Good solid Cornish comedy.’
According to local sources, the wall’s display peaked in 2018 with as many as 40 mugs perfectly arranged along the wall.
The latest images received a mixed reaction when posted online.
One person referencing the iconic Pink Floyd album wrote: ‘All in all it’s just another d**k on the wall.’
Another local added: ‘The wheeze I wheezed when I saw this.’
Another admits driving past the ‘spectacle’, but thought they were nothing more than flasks, writing: ‘Is that what I think it is? I drove past this morning, and I thought it was a bunch of flasks lol.’
A Metro insider has since revealed that the dildos have now been replaced by model ducks.
Ebony Kingsman said: ‘I drove by earlier expecting dildos, just loads of ducks now!’
