DRIVERS in and around the Maenclochog area are still recovering today after a hardened vandal spray-painted yellow penises along a stretch of road near Morvil.

The road, just off the B4313, was targeted with graffiti because of the number of potholes scattered along it’s length.

Locals have dubbed the cock-sure artist as ‘Wanksy’ and have discovered that whoever drew the penises also wrote ‘Follow the yellow d### road’.

Some of the penises have been drawn around more sizeable potholes, but simply pointing disapprovingly at the smaller ones.

If you want to report a pothole, the chosen method is still via the Pembrokeshire County Council website.
