The print is the proportion that you see in the little pic in my post. Width-wise, it just fitted at a tilt in my boot so it's about 4ft something, I guess, and has a large white engraved panel underneath telling you what it is and that it was originally painted for the Palace of Westminster. It was too long to fit on the first wall that I tried to hang it on! Pretty much a mural.
I did hear something about the Warrior being moved to get it out of the water (shame as I always park in Gosport and arrive by the Gosport ferry so it's nice to draw up alongside). I assumed that this was on conservation grounds but maybe football is the real reason!
Eros is certainly a magnet for drunks of all types. I too have sat there regretting the previous night's copious whisky and ridiculous red Russian "champagne" and the early start to the next day. Hmm, missing the Japan Centre at that range is quite impressive - if you didn't have the drunkenness as an excuse!
I think I'm acquiring an undeserved reputation for photo abuse! I only PS-ed the hearts: the rest of the photo (including the night) is as it was. If you peek at this post: http://wongkk.livejournal.com/35671.html you can see the other pics from my London Chinese New Year visit, including more night shots. Sadly I was working during the day, so most of the camera stuff (new camera - burning hole!) was done at night, which was fine for all the lanterns in Chinatown.
Valentine's Day has started well, thank you - let's hope it continues that way ;=)
