Stopped off in a tiny NZ town and saw a sign for the Bayeux Tapestry and I couldn't believe what I saw next!
Guy had reconstructed the entire Bayeux Tapestry from the tiny metal teeth from cogs in industrial knitting machines.
Well you would wouldn't you!
It's evidently coming to UK to join the real thing soon. Fucking love this country, the batshit things you find in these little country towns.

Check the date
That linked article (in the OP) is from 2016 (950th anniversary of BoH celebrations, not related to the tapestry coming here in 2018). The 'Giant Jersey' apparently has ceased trading, https://www.giantjersey.co.nz/
Guess you didn't read it properly either!

I skim read, if I have time or amn't drunk.
Ok, you win this round (I assume, I haven't properly read your reply or looked back at that stuff. I totally expect you're right).
(fyi, fwiw, I've looked for about 3 hours now and I still can't see a quick ASCII thumbs-up emoji)
