However I suspect he is laying it on a bit thick, what likely happened is 138 people said not very nice things in the comments under that Daily Mail article, stuff like "I hope he falls into the chipping machine", and he is counting that as a "death threat". I highly doubt 138 people have sent him poison pen letters. Letters on paper made out of trees? Hmm, a bit inconsistent! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends how its made https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-65976309 If its like the example there its likely to be hand crafted, which wouldnt be cheap.

A casting would be cheaper and serve the same purpose. As an aside, that report shows the total ineptitude of the Council. ADDED thought - maybe the councillors and their advisers, who got this so spectacularly wrong, should stump up to cover the costs. Why should the general public have to pay even one penny?

Why should the general public have to pay even one penny? How about looking to the £2.2 billion PFI contract to pay some of the costs. As far as I'm concerned, senior management within Amey were complicit in this debacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
