Battle of i360 vs the Wheel hots up with the arrival of a giant robot urchin

I sent a tweet of a quick doodle out into the aether after seeing that two tall Brighton Seafront attractions were vying for attention in the local press. Much like two trees competing for sunlight the i360 & the Brighton Wheel are are both aiming to be the premiere seaside vista providing tourist trap. The Argus picked it up and then Brighton & Hove News did too.

No water fountains on Brighton front

Today is voting day so it's interesting to see how all that will turn out. The other week the Labour candidate called round the flat to canvas and I got her in to show her my idea. I had it a few weeks ago and someone in Hove council seemed vaguely interested in it until they stopped replying to my calls. My idea is to put up water fountains on the front and stop people buying bottled water which is a little wasteful. I even roughed up a little logo for them to try and sell this idea. She said it was pointless because of corporate water bottling culture. It seemed all her political zeal has been knocked out of her before she's even in a place of power. Needless to say didn't get my vault - which was a shame as she seemed quite nice.
