A large statue of a £50 note. Northerners will flock to London to see something they have never seen before or are ever likely to see in the future

Sorry,

Does "The Angel of the North" have some local significance then?

I thought it was just the design that was in the guys head at the time.

The hilltop site is important and has the feeling of being a megalithic mound. When you think of the mining that was done underneath the site, there is a poetic resonance. Men worked beneath the surface in the dark. Now in the light, there is a celebration of this industry. The face will not have individual features. The effect of the piece is in the alertness, the awareness of space and the gesture of the wings - they are not flat, they're about 3.5 degrees forward and give a sense of embrace. The most important thing is that this is a collaborative venture. We are evolving a collective work from the firms of the North East and the best engineers in the world.

A supercilious buckle-wearing gel-haired nonce that can't hold his beer, with a Marks & Spencer's Sushi takeaway in his briefcase stood atop a mound of dung meant to symbolically represent London..
