You can tell us more about Chaffley.

• Chaffley have banned all forms of artwork.
• "Twee, Phee, Barney McGree, Cuthbert, Dribble and Mub" is a shop that sells both tools for artists in a range of prices. Twee brushes cost £1 - £5 while essoteric items like rubber glue costs in exces of £34.99. The most expensive items are the poster paints, especially the blue as it comes from a rare blue dye from Cuba which has to be smuggled in to the U.S before arriving directly in Chaffley. Seven people have died so far on missions for blue poster paints and this pushes prices up as only the foolish and greedy will now go. I wnet once, can you tell which I am? Alos worht looking at is the giant mural on the wall by the shop owner Baryy McFlasher. It depicts a battle between the robots out of "Disney's The Black Hole" and the Conheaded aliens from "Dan Ayckroyd's Cone Heads". There is a little in joke for those who know Barry - he has painted one of the cyclons faces a slightly shinier silver than the others.
• The Indica Gallery on Twelve Philip's Road is a real corker. It shows the latest in "modern art" and stuff like that. Not sure if I like all of modren art, but it's not to see what people can get up to in their spare time. They once showed a picture of a naked lady too!
• McCoopers on Damien Hirst drive stocks sculptures made from sun-dried and hardened poo-poo.
