On the other hand ... I just read a news story about their newest project. Hoo-boy, am I glad I'm not in Liverpool. Why? Because there's a giant mechanical spider on the side of an office building. From the BBC article:
The spider is believed to be "waking up" on Friday.
It will descend from its current position on the side of Concourse House on Thursday to be moved to the city's new arena, before coming to life on Friday.
The creature will then begin exploring the city later that evening.
COMING TO LIFE. EXPLORING THE CITY. OH LOOK, THE STUFF OF MY NIGHTMARES, COMING TRUE.
