What is so symbolic about these ?
How do they relate to Liverpool?
And what are their origins.?
Was you asked your opinion before they got dumped around the city?
Would you have rather have seen the money spent more wisely?
THE long awaited designs for the Go Superlambanana trail have been revealed to sponsors. Read
The Superlamb banana is a total waste of public money.
Who wanted it in the first place? Why should we pay for the upkeep and constant moving of it?
I would gladly take a HGV and aim it at the thing!
I like it. It's another thing to add to the city, but I dont want to see the mad fuit lamb everywhere.
We should have more new and curious things for tourists to see/do instead of lots of Beatles stuff.
I know some people that think all there is in the city is Matthew Street, and some people just want to keep anything coz it's old and not spend money of anything new (like a Buck Rogers themed hotel FTW )
I got a good picture of the Unity superlamb banana but the site still won't let me upload photos even if I make them smaller. Is there anyone I could email it to, who could put it up here?

Public art = Waste of money
Not that old chestnut again. Can you imagine how dull the city would be if you never spent any money on non essential things? Why not melt down all the Beatles statues and sell the metal to pay for a teacher or nurse.
Superlambananas back to their spiritual home
Apr 17 2008

A FLOCK of mini-Superlambananas have found shelter in their spiritual home.
A trail of the colourful pieces of art will adorn Liverpool and surrounding areas on June 16 for the Go Superlambananas! event.
Organiser Wild In Art has found the ideal place to store the figures ahead of their big day - the Matchworks, in Garston, where the original Superlambanana was created in 1998.
The arts group has taken 5,500 sq ft of space in a deal with developer Urban Splash.
The venue will be used as a studio for artists and community groups, who have been commissioned to apply their own designs to the mini-Superlambananas.
Project director Sally Ann Wilkinson said: “Given this was the birthplace of Superlambanana, I cannot think of a more fitting place for us.”
