I didn't take any offense at your calling the Mars Cheese Castle tacky, Michelle. I'm sure it does qualify in some ways as exactly that. But I do think that paintings on velvet are more accurately right up there in the annals of great tackiness. But what's the difference between tacky and kitch? (Martin, I ENVY you! Cheese heaven on your very doorstep! It's right up there with some of what I miss most about living in that area. I also have some real sense memories of the Buckingham Fountain turning all those colours at night on special occasions. Please tell me that still happens..?)
