Can't recall, Mr Bridge, having particularly addressed myself to "statues" at all, defensively of otherwise. Not quite sure what you mean here. Can't follow your leap of thought to Mussolini & the trains either. Don't know if others can follow your somewhat anfractuous thought processes; but your post leaves me far more confused than enlightened.

Still, don't trouble to explain; I am sure it will make no ultimate difference sub specie æternitate.
