Cornwall's 'Great Wall of China' that is normally lined with mugs was taken over last week - by a procession of sex toys.

However, in an update, the Packet can confirm that these have now been replaced by yellow rubber ducks. 

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 or months - and there is even a Facebook page dedicated to the sightings of the bewildering trinkets.

However, on New Year's Eve the wall was adorned by a somewhat different display as the mugs had all been replaced - with sex toys.

Mark Woolcock says he was driving along the A39 when he saw a row of them placed on the wall.

Mark, who took the images at around 8am on New Year's Eve, 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 on the Facebook page.

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 admitted 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."
