Re: Campaign To Keep The Arndale Clock
Personally I cant stand the thing and wouldn't care if I never saw it again, but I applaud you guys for getting up off your arses and standing up for something which you obviously care for.
But has anyone given any thought to where this Satanspawn behemoth would reside should you be successful? The Arndale was locked at night thus preventing vandals and hooligans from defacing said clock and I fear that if placed in the open it would be a matter of days before it bears the legend "Maz is 101% megafit IDT INDT" and other such important juvenile scrawlings.
I'm not trying to pour cold water on the idea because if it was indeed paid for by our money then yes, we should take it back for 'the people'. I would hate it if you were triumphant in your bid only for it to become a homing beacon to docile numbnuts who feel it is their civic duty to inform us that they were "buzzin like a bee, suckin' on a sweet called XTC......"
