"Even if Banksy did turn up, no-one would know it was him."

True.  So maybe there could be an "I AM BANKSY" PLINTH PARTY, inviting anyone and everyone to come along and impersonate him.  Obviously it would be an open invitation so that anyone could turn up and pretend to be him - even 5'2" career advisers. Yep, admit it Rosemary, you're probably a dab hand with a stencil.  I bet you'd love to have Banksy as an alter-ego! Maybe it could be Banksys en mass (or is it Banksies? Or Banksii?  OK, what is the plural of Banksy?) Or maybe, with a little forethought and preparation, there could be one Banksy at a time... a different Banksy for every hour, 24 hours a day, for, say, a hundred days....oh no, wait a minute........

^{If I was Banksy, no-one would ever guess.   At least with a stencil, I wouldn't worry about going outside the lines (the same applies to heat embossing stamps).}

^{I definitely like the idea of Banksys en masse - a bit like "I'm Spartacus, no I'm Spartacus", only of course it would be Banksy.  I'm surprised he hasn't come up with the idea himself - although of course he would need to absent himself from the proceedings.}

Would he need to be absent?  I was also thinking of perhaps a 'field' of Banksies/Banksys/Banksii (still none the wiser on what the plural is!), maybe enough to fill the whole square, all hooded and silent, stencils and spraycans poised.... no, no..... that's more like the stuff of nightmares.....  

Are there any lucky plinthers amongst us btw?  I fear I may be wasting my time asking, but you never know!!!

I thought that the idea of the plinth project was to draw people to Trafalgar Square, not frighten them away
