    ..But we've been waiting for over 100 years! (Minimus keeps overtaking me too.) So, what shall we have, then?

    I don't like any of the artists' proposals; they all look like self-indulgent gallery pieces, totally out of keeping for the theme of the square. True, they are - or may be ;) Actual Art, but they'd be better suited to a museum than Trafalgar Square.

    Trafalgar Square is a piecemeal monument to British achievement and history. The whimsy of the artists' proposals clashes with the rest of it.

    I think the Fourth Plinth should commemorate some Briton who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Or should have won, but didn't.

    This One's for the Pigeons is an ordinary family saloon car, a Ford Fiesta, which will have been painted with resin and acrylic paint to look as if it's totally covered with pigeon shit.

    Eman. I don't think this could be called boring. I could never imagine an official Canadian Government web page, no matter what level of government it was publishing something like that.

    You Brits crack me up.

    Yes, it's not what you would expect to read in one of HM Governments publications.

    The Fourth Plinth should be reserved for the future British political hero who preserves the country by quitting the EU.
