NEW EXHIBIT UNVEILED HYDE!

Sean, creating his masterpiece.

A 25 year old job seeker's hastily discarded lunch has become the latest star exhibit at Hyde’s, wacky  indoor shopping mall.

Following on from the council acclaimed 3D sculpture, which was made from buttons, comics, dog chews and other bric-a-brac; a half-eaten potato and meat pie, wrapped in a Gregg’s bag' began to attract crowds on Wednesday afternoon, after unemployed Sean Head had to answer a call of nature and inadvertently left what was left of his lunch on the bench where he was sitting.

On being interviewed by one of Tameside council’s local media representatives, Mr Head exclusively revealed that 'after paying a visit’ he rushed back to reclaim his rapidly congealing pie, but noticed that a crowd of bewildered pensioners and few mystified orange faced trolley-pushing chavs, had gathered round the bench; texting and taking pictures on their ubiquitous diamanté encrusted pink plastic mobiles of his half eaten pastry, which was now being cordoned off with rope.'

He went on, 'As I attempted to retrieve me pie, I was told in no uncertain terms by a portly security officer that ‘touching was not allowed!'

'After answering the call of “Who did that?” from an official looking chap in a crumpled suit, I was then ushered into one of the empty shops by Philip Fitzpatrick, a local councillor, who thanked me for the superb and challenging post-modern masterpiece.'

Art expert, Cllr Fitzpatrick

Interviewed later, a jubilant Cllr Fitzpatrick said, “This is a stunning piece of artwork which gives Hyde Indoor Market the ambiance it deserves,” “I couldn’t think of a more fitting and appealing way to draw attention to everything that Hyde has to offer.

Sean Head’s case worker at the local Jobcentre plus confirmed that although Sean has been with them since leaving school with 27 GCSE grade D passes, they had no idea that he was so talented!”

Speaking on behalf of the council, Cllr Fitzpatrick told us that Sean is now considered to be a major new talent in post-modern art and as a forward looking council,with beacon status, will be delighted to have him exhibit at the Hyde Modern (as it is now to be known) where we sincerely hope to stage his next work, 'two sausage rolls and a bun’ very soon.'

The story above is entirely fictitious. It’s satire. A parody if you like and should only be read by people with a sense of humour!
