Lloyds bank in 1973 - Viking Jorvik was discovered under this building in Pavement - and a giant turd
READING in The Press online of a huge "giant turd" blocking the toilets on the first floor of the House of Trembling Madness in Lendal, York, I expected it to be a rival to Coprolite (paleo faeces - or to you and I human excrement) found under Lloyds bank in Pavement 1972.
The 9th century Viking fossil faeces found in Jorvik (the Viking name for York) are now residing in the Viking centre Coppergate and is a massive 8 inch x 2 inches.
I imagine the new contender is just a pale imitation of the original!
And, as such, the original is still the king on the throne!
