Leading horses to water


A bronze statue weighing six tonnes, of a giant horse's head, by Nic Fiddian-Green was unveiled in June at Marble Arch in London, as part of a GBP2 million refurbishment of the area, which includes the upgrading of the fountains, which were installed in 1961.

I don't object to it all, but one wonders how such extravagance with public money can be justified. Perhaps it was commissioned during times when money was less tight. And horses were more amenable.
