Immovable block

Trials suggest that cleaning it off within 24 hours reduces graffiti. It will be interesting to see whether that works here.

Of the legal options available I think that is the most effective, it denies the culprit the attention they appear to be seeking.

Maida Vale council knew that in 1988 ;->

There's now some pillock in a deckchair on it.

Yup V8 Land rover (or maybe 2)and kinetic energy rope - no problem

It is now black and appears to have a security guard.

Brilliant idea. Shame it now has security. Friday night at 11pm should be fun:-)

Only taxis use that road. One of the reasons the taxi drivers users are up in arms is becuase it now costs £1.30 extra to get anywhere.

A bit of info in here.

Slack day at work:-)

I will be watching tonight when the drunks are out.

Indeed, I'd need to upflash in order to use an iplayer link so think I'll go for another rinse cycle on the hair ta ;-)

Oh my . . . .

"Mind the Gap is an award-winning theatre company that works with learning disabled and non-disabled artists as equals. Since 1988 we have been working with people to find creative ways to overcome obstacles and barriers."

Oh f*ok, it get's worse . . . .

"Immovable is part of imove, a Cultural Olympiad programme in Yorkshire."

Only interested from the point of abuse of local government road closure powers for a publicity stunt. Other than that it seems a lot of fuss over what is clearly a sheet fabricated shell over a couple of concrete blocks as ballast.

Can't understand why the taxi drivers are up in arms if they're getting an extra 1.30 on each fare, unless it's for the abuse they're taking from stiffed citizens as a result. Is it really a mile detour to get past it?

^^^^^^ Is that a typo? - it's a bloody good term for some of these prats that are called artists.

There was a tent on top of it, just been removed by four blokes in brown coats. I feel an attack of artisitistis coming on.

Some bloke sat on a bench on it at the moment.

Or is it a woman knitting?

It's a solid block of Yorkshire stone:-)

Probably sick of getting abuse.

I'm worried, you know far more about this than you should . . . .

This pic made it look fab'd to me:

As it's about disability awareness I trust no cheats were involved in the installation. I wonder how many electric wheelchairs it took to drag it into place?

Understandably.

Looks to me as tho they're about to take it away.
