Railing against railings

Mr Tall seems to have an issue with the railings;

[quote] Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this ? When I first came here, the "laissez-faire" that Hongkong is famous for extended to letting you decide where and when you wanted to step out in front of a bus (or more likely in front of a bicycle carrying a big bag of dead chickens, cycling the wrong way down the road. I digress...). Then sometime in the second half of the nineties, railings started sprouting up everywhere. Has there have been a government study that says we'll need a certain number of railings before we can truly be considered a world class city ? I see them when we're hiking too, in the oddest of places. Very strange. [/quote]

If you didnt have railings, you would be denying the stars of all those triad kiddie films the ability to show off their athletic prowess. How would the whole y&d series look if Ekin couldnt be shown popping railings effortlessly, despite weilding a chopper and wearing painted-on leather pants?

Perhaps Mr Tall just needs to recognise what they're for, and practise some moves :P

Bah

Well the railings were mine (I think Mr Tall's stature is such that he nonchalantly strides over them).

Interesting theory that the railings are meant to turn us into a world class film set, and not a world class city. It's about as a good a reason as any I can think of!
