  1. A replica of the anchor? What's it made of? I don't think it will work unless it's very heavy.

  2. I don't know, but I never heard about this before now, some communication problems, shurely? How can it represent Deptford if half of Deptford hasn't heard about it in advance and had a chance to contribute?
