Spending a small fortune commissioning, erecting, and maintaining statues is all a bit too 19th Century really.. innit...???

No matter how well deserved by a person's reputation - though obviously The statues for Billy Fury and Eric Morecambe
might be considered good valid exceptions here and now in the 21st Century...


Though it does raise interesting questions about monumental art in public spaces... and who should pay for it...????
