sent to [1] The Guardian [2] Smoke, a London Peculiar, and [3] Goteborg Fria Tidning
London, 8 May 2007
Johann Kierulf, a tutor at a London institution of higher education, noticed today as he was walking along Flaxman Terrace that plastic barriers had been erected there to discourage the public from entering into an area in the road where work was being carried out to modernize the London sewer system. The barriers were kept in place by white bags of perhaps jute, filled, perhaps, with sand. These bags were arranged in slots in the barriers, and so disposed as to resemble, in a vague way, sleeping drunken obese Dutch sailors.
Later in the day, on his way to collect an examination script from one of the examination halls in Tottenham Court Road, he noticed similar arrangements had been made: white-jute, sailor-like sandbags leaning drunkenly through the portals in plastic barriers.
