Sorry Bob & Will, I didn't want to sound off, nor do I think your efforts will be in vain.

Trying to correct the failures of over 30 years will be difficult if not impossible. But it doesn't mean nobody should try.

I think that if it is left to HBC we will waste more millions, and somebody has to remind them or even snap at their heels. A good opposition has its values.

Good luck to you....

In reality people just want to get on with their lives...and therefore apathy takes over.

I'm made of the same stuff as you both are, and currently I am fighting several battles with the Home Office, Inland Revenue(now there's a black hole), and the Minister for Veterans. So I too side with a worthy cause from time to time.
 
i think it would be a good idea if they werent spending so much. i think they need to improve some other things. not put sculptures outside the globe centre
 
what id like to know is, if the cog,wheel or whatever it is , was given to the people of church, will the people of church be benifiting from the said money that should have been spent on it to buy it ? will there be some tyding up done in church or has the money been squandere or pehaps "lost" yet again or has hbc pinched the cog from the church people ?
 
I only just realised the cog has got its own little 'fence' around it. Is this to prevent vandalism? ;)

oh i see theve finished installing it, dare we ask how long will it last///
 
Yep....that'll keep the under-5s out (irreverent little kindergarten louts that they are)! Seriously I think the fence is just there to frame it - even the council aren't that dumb to think that they can stop someone from vandalising it if they wanted.

This is exactly what we are talking about when we get ****ed off at HBC. I mean....it does look impressive but......30 grand pur-lease!
 
I like it as a focal point. But I can't that they spent 30 grand. Do we get a Plaque stating what, where and when? More importantly where the rest of it?
 
Very good point there Doug - for all the uninitiated know they could think its a replica and not an actual original heritage piece.
