This is interesting. I said the following here about the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen...

Quote:

I was quite suprised at the lack of security surrounding this tourist attraction, no CCTV or anything. It was pretty cool to see it though!


And now I read this on the BBC News website... Denmark may move Little Mermaid

Good idea folks

It certainly seems like a good idea to move the little mermaid. Why do some people find it funny to damage wonderful sculptures like this one? Sad

I remember fifty years ago, someone knocked off her head. I was soooo mad! But I was told at that time that this had been happening to her for several years.
