    I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

    It's to get all those Frenchies over here on the Eurostar - They'll be looking for a slap up feast with the size of the horse we have in the UK

      Imagine the size of the shovel you'd need clearing up after that thing.

      Why didn't they create a huge rocking horse or something? I would have paid to have a go on that.

          It's art. If you don't understand it or don't appreciate it then you are thick. Apparently.
          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

            Good thinking.

            All they need to do now is rename Ebbsfleet to Oeuvres and then they can call it the Hors d'Oeuvres

                Why is 'art' so bloody expensive though? Couldn't they have fashioned it out of some of the junk in the skip that's parked down the bottom of the street? A few rusty prams and a dog eared mattress would have looked great.

                    Not quite sure why you would want a statue of something you can see for real in that part of the world. At least with the Angel of the North, you can attempt to call it art as it is not a model of a real thing...
