What has been shown with this thread is that what yourself & others who move in the same circles view as feasible is seen differently by other folk. So hopefully with a broader input a better result may be achieved a genuine take from all ports & should it not work out, well you couldn't be held solely responsible as others have stuck their 2 'pennoth worth in. Just a suggestion to ease things a little
But what do I know, I'm a cultural pygmy.

Relatively few, of the many posts I've made, are about the artistic value of these projects.
They are about the use of tax payers' money to fund them.
