They are more likely to have had friends or family of reasonable means. They may have donated the bench, or the bench may have been there anyway and they got the plaque in return for a donation to the Botanic Garden.does anyone know who tomkinson and monteath were? were they special? or did they have rich friends who decided to donate a bench in their dead friends' names?
And they say C is short for Catastrophe...he he.. enitharmon, i like your avatar.
I think somebody already has!Heck, it'd be weird if one day someone came up and carved "Lyra + Will" into one of the trees next to their bench....and a Sraffie like us---or Philip Pullman himself!---chanced to come across it.
Wouldn't it be nice if the UK arm of BTTS could put up a semi-official plaque nearby, commemorating the Bench and its significance.I think somebody already has!Heck, it'd be weird if one day someone came up and carved "Lyra + Will" into one of the trees next to their bench....and a Sraffie like us---or Philip Pullman himself!---chanced to come across it.

Seriously - I would chip in to that. We could have a little ceremony next June. On the 24th, dammit!Wouldn't it be nice if the UK arm of BTTS could put up a semi-official plaque nearby, commemorating the Bench and its significance.I think somebody already has!Heck, it'd be weird if one day someone came up and carved "Lyra + Will" into one of the trees next to their bench....and a Sraffie like us---or Philip Pullman himself!---chanced to come across it.
So would I, though I wouldn't be able to attend. Whom would we have to gain permission from? Could PP get involved?Seriously - I would chip in to that. We could have a little ceremony next June.

It would be a courtesy, and it would be a great pleasure if he would. Well I'm up for it - anybody else?So would I, though I wouldn't be able to attend. Whom would we have to gain permission from?

), someone would have to dedicate that place in the train station to Harry Potter, unless they already have, and some other place to some other famous book hero, and so on and so forth, which could get out of hand after awhile. But I think we should do it anyway. OooH! 
We could also find the place where Will finds the window under the hornbeam trees in TSK and make a little monument there, since the bench is kinda already taken.
smiley.
We *know* where that is - there's a photo on this site! But you wouldn't want the memorial plaque on the Oxford Ring Road - believe me!We could also find the place where Will finds the window under the hornbeam trees in TSK and make a little monument there, since the bench is kinda already taken.
You'd get a bit wet if you were driving from LAIm up for it too. I will be learning to drive shortly, and the M40 is a fun motorway to drive down. I could get to Oxford (if I get hold of a car, that is...).
