I wonder if back in the day people thought the same when Nelsons column went up?

Nelson's Column, a big blue cock - it all sounds phallic to me.

I believe Lady Hamilton had a hand in the erection of Nelson's column.

In these times of austerity, I think it's interesting that the article doesn't state how much this has cost us (or at least the rate-payers of London). Actually, Boris should charge her a fee for displaying her 'art work'.

Hence the old joke: What's black and slides up & down Nelson's column?

I will leave it to Pred to finish off.

I suppose it's a bit more artistic than some of the cr*p that people come up with but I wouldn't want it on my mantelpiece

These modern art, avant garde statement sculptures take the edge off historic squares. Why do people today have to "improve" whats fine as it is?

They should put this in a lesser square or park and if the art will stand up on its own merit, people will flock to see it.

Think it refers to the South African Nelson.
