Guys, I received a fun story from my niece Sarah as she's in the press today: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/artist-has-record-breaking-chalk-artwork-erased-by-policeman-50-yards-from-completion-8298187.html?origin=internalSearch

It cries out to be featured somehow but I don't have time to write anything - was thinking perhaps a policeman arrests himself for drawing a chalk outline round a body. Would love someone to pick this up - Thanks!

The video is here for those with more time on their hands - http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2012/november/a-mile-in-chalk

Mr Plod clearly has nothing better to do.

Next time, she should tie the chalk to a stick & run !

If you rewind the tape you can see her having to rub it all back out again using a special little white stick of eraser.

Art....'there's no need for it'....
Just about sums up Plod's grasp on life.
'People were enjoying it'.....yeah, well not while I'm on duty they won't

Did they cordon off the chalk line with a mile of that CRIME SCENE - DO NOT CROSS tape
Maybe dozens of people were either killed or injured when they had to step into the road to avoid the tape
Emergency services couldn't cope.
Ambulances had to be shipped in from Watford to help clear the streets
A van collided with a bus which then poughed into Harrods, a fire broke out.
Rioting and looting ensued.
It all ends with your niece being charged for possession of a piece of chalk
