Work today: an e-mail to Westminster Council

Dear ----,

Many thanks for your time on the phone just now and sorry I couldn’t hold it together. This is honestly something our clients in Japan are interested in.

As I mentioned, I work for a Japanese TV Production company (www.------------) based in London. We research and coordinate filming in the UK and Europe on behalf of Japanese broadcasters.

Right now we’re doing a bit of research about Westminster bridge, with a view to possibly filming it at the end of January (depending of course on permission and weather). Here’s a link to the photos we have found:

As you can see, the likeness is undeniable. However, we’re keen to find out if this is real, or if it has been photo-shopped as some of the forum participants seem to think. Has anyone ever contacted Westminster City Council about this before… (for example, a complaint, letter of praise or someone else from the media)?

Secondly, as I mentioned on the phone, we’re trying to find out whether or not this design was part of the recent renovation work to Westminster bridge (as detailed here: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/archive/3465.aspx).

Do you know who was contracted to do this work, or anyone I could approach about this? If possible, we’d like to know who chose the design, whether they are aware of this curious phenomenon and why they chose this design.

Thirdly, Japan has asked us to find out when the phallic sunshine striking the ground is longest and when it is shortest… would anyone at Westminster Council know about this?

Lastly, we’d also like to possibly interview a representative about the renovation work – is there anyone at Westminster Council who could do this?

Thank you in advance for all of your help about concerning this, and for taking it seriously.

Kind regards,

Guy Taylor
Production Assistant
