Driving up to London over the weekend to see my family, I was quite interested by a discussion on one of the radio stations. It concerned the empty plinth in Trafalger Square and what sort of statue should be placed upon it.
There were all sorts of suggestions, basically from the great and the good - though these definitions in a lot of cases would depend on one's political stance. Why not, though, go for something a little different ?
My proposal would be for something to commemorate the archetypal family, man & wife, 2.2 kids and a labrador ,as the saying goes. Make it as symbolic as you like and then it should be able to represent all of us.
