A frothy deluge of soapsuds engulfed the fountain at the roundabout on Barmpton Lane today. Spilling out like some slow white fizzy soda (pop) Dr. Who nightmare, it spread threateningly across the landscape in the middle of the road, distracting oncoming motorists. Over rocks and a pathway the bubbles spread in an alien blobby form, covering existing plant life. The ‘who did it’ remains an elusive possibility. Attention seeking, well obviously but why should anyone waste their time squirting washing up liquid into an otherwise standard public garden feature? Is it an art installation by some hidden Bansky like operative, waiting in the shadows to declare an honest subversive intent with meaning? Do we have that sort of talent in Darlington? More likely to be bored kids, off school, doing a naughty Easter weekend prank, eh!
