Of course I forgot and had to look through the website archives.<br /><br />The bizarre thing was the conductor sat on the plinth shouting instructions through a bullhorn while the orchestra and singers stood in front of him in the square, where there were no directional microphones set up.<br /><br />Still, it gives foreign tourists the opportunity to wander past, shake their heads, and mutter something about the eccentricities of the English.Good Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789861569691613179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-68896183628226125042009-07-25T20:17:24.720+01:002009-07-25T20:17:24.720+01:00Lovely... and lovely pictures.

Glad your friend's plinth-stint went well. <br /><br />As for the less imaginative among the plinth-sitters, Mobile-Phone-Use-On-A-Plinth is not quite my idea of performance art.<br /><br />(Just in passing, I doubt that I ever have, nor, likely will I ever again, type the word "plinth" so many times in one short period of time.)<br /><br />And after all that, I was rather hoping for a more interesting word verification than INGAM, which is simply not calling any witticisms to mind. None whatsoever.scbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048966584552769915noreply@blogger.com
