It would appear that the location of the statue, Alison Lapper, Pregnant is not the only error concerning this controversial piece.
.
The accompanying plaque contains a glaring spelling error, and has been in situ for more than a month.
.
Quoting the sculptor, Marc Quinn, the plaque reads " To me, 'Alison Lapper, Pregnant', is a monument to the future possibilities of the human race as well as the resiliance (sic) of the human spirit".
.
The correct spelling is of course, 'resilience'.
.
A spokesman for the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, whose office commissioned the statue, said : "the spelling mistake has been spotted and it will be replaced as soon as possible. The plaque was only ever intended to be temporary".
.
Many feel that the statue, as well as the erroneously spelt plaque, has overstayed it's welcome!
.
Henceforth, the dyslexic editor of this blog wishes it to be known that all his spelling mistakes are intended to be only temporary.
.
Indeed!
