Ha! I bet you think I should have used tale in the title but today's post is about a shark's tail so you would be wrong. In an odd twist of trash or treasure a house in the UK that has a shark sticking out of its roof caused quite a stir with the council when the sculpture was first installed in 1986 with the council ordering it to be demolished and the owner refusing. The son inherited the house known as Headington Shark from his late father in 2019 and is now fighting to keep it off of Oxford Heritage Asset Register saying it defeats the purpose his father intended,to protest against planning restrictions and censorship. I'm with the son on this one since the council was against it until they thought they might profit from it and of course honoring his father's wishes.
