It's not clear from the picture but the great thing about it is "the second hand is the giant's notable appendage".

I think we should start a campaign to convert the original in the same way. Imagine the tourist trade!

Haha! I've got one of these! Harbour Times in Weymouth sells them if anyone's interested.

And yes - the second "hand" is what you think it is. :D

Paddy Power would be first in line!

Speaking of Weymouth, they have their famous (yeah, you've all heard of it!) flower clock - I wonder if they could be persuaded to make a miniature Cerne Abbas Giant to accompany it? ;) A missed opportunity otherwise.
