I think that Kent County Council have too much money. I'm thinking this because they are planning on making a southern equilivent of the Angel of the North. Now I am a big fan of the AotN. I have been there several times and it is fabulous.
This horse-thingy that is the apparently planned idea looks silly (a giant bridled horse..?? I mean really!??!). Sure, the symbol of Kent is a horse, there is even a chalk cut horse on the way into Folkstone but this is no angel.
The Angel of the North has something very elegant about it's presence. It was made locally and if you're heading north on the A1(M), especially in the evening, and it suddenly looms against the sodium-orange lit clouds... there over looking everyone on their journeys. It is even more impressive than when you drive along the A303 and Stonehenge comes into view... and that really is a let down!!
I have seen all these photos with the apparent horse supperimposed into them and they look really, really pants.
I have also updated the All About Me section over to the right. That damned '25 things' meme that has been doing to round. If you want to be tagged, consider yourself tagged!!
