Woking weirdness
I just spent the best part of a week in Woking, Surrey, where I attended a training course .
Due to the fact that I stayed in London for my visit (primarily due to a lack of semi-decent hotels in Woking which was confirmed by my course hosts) I didn't get to see much of Woking, but one of the weird features there is the Tripod sculpture. This sculpture was erected because Woking features in H.G.Wells' War of the Worlds. The mention of Woking in this classic novel however, is actually as the first town to be destroyed by the Tripods. Strange reason to add a monument!
