Mayor releases statement over Hirst statue's socks

Who knows why Verity has been given a rather fetching set of stripy tights?

Perhaps it was one of the Academy’s students looking to be the next Jean Paul Gaultier? Or maybe someone thought that Verity’s legs were looking a little cold? Or finally could there be a more extraterrestrial nature and that aliens have finally decided to pay a visit to a earth resort and leave a thank you?”
