I'm sure there would be large crowds if it was there today. One person looking up at it and 10,000 behind them trying to pick their pockets

You might have something there, what about re-siting it at the restored con club when its been polyfillered back to a good condition. Or on top of the Coppice, why does it have to be in the Arndale.

That's because there are more moaners than doers. They like to moan on about how something should be done but expect everyone else to do it while they sit behind their keyboards moaning about something else.

I feel for Gayle because at least she tried to do something about this allegedly "hugely important piece of our heritage" that soo many folk have been happily banging on about about yet none could be bothered to show up for the meeting.
I don't like the damn thing, I had to tolerate it every day for 12 years, I don't give a stuff about it but folk who nail their colours to the mast should show up. www.whingingandlazy.com
