Sorry, I'm not really being relevant.
Just a bit p****d off with the government privatising and contracting out stuff.
I can't see how it can cost less or be better as at the end of the day some of
the money has to go to shareholders. In the case of the railways they sold off
something that everyone was a shareholder in and then pay the people that bought
it for a very reduced price out of the money fromthe previous owners taxes. Any
(real) cost savings then got line the shareholders pockets while the taxpayers
subsidise them.
I know I've gone off topic sorry
Re: the original message
As long as she doesn't damage I can't really see the problem, who knows, someone
in a store might be inspired by seeing her work and buy a load of paving slabs
or whatever to make their own, plus if not then just sell them from her
sculpture instead of the pallet!
