Thread Name: Folklore: Padstow's Obby Oss
Subject: RE: Folklore: Padstow's Obby Oss
I am currently following up on two possibilities. The first is that Padstow's Obby Oss was created by Walter Elias Disney in 1929. The second is that Padstow's Obby Oss was invented by Rick Stein the famous TV seafood chef in order to promote the opening of his new restaurant in that town. Frankly, I'm leaning towards the second possibility, because Disney Studios would have sued the crap of out Padstow years ago. Padstow's Town Council will be meeting later this year to debate the possibility of re-naming Padstow - Padstein, and also re-naming the Obby Oss - the Rickie Oss.
