Can someone please tell me what a "pitch" constitutes? I have an idea it is somewhat like the spots street musicians claim, but this sounds more formal. ------------------ Just an area of the beach by the prom where he's allowed to make his sculptures. Weymouth is where I spent my teenage years. My mum and one sister still live there. So I'm pretty familiar with the sculptures; pretty impressive, and very big. (I think he uses some sort of armature for some bits - it's not just sand) They usually get vandalised, though; after a lot of drinks, it obviously is a good idea to break into the enclosure and kick all the sculptures to bits. Then again, Weymouth is pretty run down, and attracts holiday makers of the worst sort. ------------------------ Yahoo!
