A giant white horse has been chosen as a new £2m art commission for
south east England dubbed "Angel of the South".
White to begin with, no doubt. But how long will it stay white, and who
pays to clean it? It is going to take more than a couple of lads with a
bucket and sponge.
Does it have cleverly-hidden rails for a hanging cleaners' basket (and
how does that work on the overhanging parts)?
Or is this to be a monument to great British flash-in-the-pan-ism - left
gently to grey (or rust?) as a warning to visitors arriving on Eurostar
about the standards of public infrastructure that they should expect in
Britain?
