Buy the World's Biggest Egg for Grantham

Aim

Raising funds to import the World's biggest egg to Grantham, or failing that, donating to Thatcher's other memorial; food banks.

There is only one problem with throwing eggs at Margaret Thatcher's shiny new statue in Grantham. Eventually, you run out of eggs.

Ever since the £300,000 shrine to our former prime minister was installed it has been targetted by egg pelters who come and go carrying half dozen packs at a time or maybe more. Heck, one bloke even tried to channel Thatcher's entrepreneurial spirit by selling eggs next to the statue at £10 a pop. It's what she would have wanted. 

But eventually they all run out of missiles and the statue, much to the chagrin of local residents, gets to live another day resplendent in its 'new statue' sheen. Which got me thinking, if only there was a more permanent solution to the problem, and there is. 

Out in Winlock in Lewis County, Washington, there lies a shrine to the town's booming egg industry that, and I think they would agree, would be better suited sat next to the Iron Lady in the UK. That way, we wouldn't have to keep waisting good eggs and we would have a permanent reminder that, supply issues aside, we'd all be there lobbing eggs day and night. 

I don't know how much money the good people of Winlock will want for their prized statue, but here's the beauty of the idea. If we can't convince them to sell us their massive egg we can donate all proceeds to Thatcher's other memorial; food banks. It's a win-win!
