I mean, really, all they do is cover themselves in paint and stand still and people pay them! I could do that outside the pub!

Correct --- probably too easy -- but he sure scares the heck out of unsuspecting passersby when he reaches out to shake hands.

Living statues? Has anyone walked through Trafalgar Square recently? I do so once a month for a nautical reunion and the first time I saw them about 3, maybe 4, years ago I thought they were quite good but now when walking from one side towards Pall Mall there must be about ten of them and they are now just more tourist tat. I suppose the response is 'got to earn a living somehow' and if people want to put money in the box then that is their choice. Not mine though.

I saw some "living statues" in San Sebastian, and one of them was portraying the Statue of Liberty. She looked very authentic with very green make - up. All was going well until a young boy crept up behind her and pinched her bum.

More about the theft/damage of the statues here:

https://www.wheal-martyn.com/2017/04...geted-thieves/

There is a slight connection between these statues and 'living statues' - In both cases real clothing treated to remain rigid has been used.

Can't do anything with the old one...but have been there on both the new ones:-
The Hunter is at the entrance to RAF Valley on Anglesey.
The House is Sandringham and HM The Queen wasn't in residence when the picture was taken.

No 1 - Flags of US States.
The one with the Union flag in the canton is Hawaii. (North Sandwich Islands). - 8 stripes for eight islands.


No 2 Looks something like Charlestown in Cornwall - but not 100% certain.

Probably either Alaska or Chile - I would opt for Alaska, but don't know which glacier.
