Interference with ley lines?
[edit]The “Reception” section suggests there were concerns that the Angel would “interfere” with ley lines. Aside from being unsure what that would mean, I’ve checked the two cites which are available online, and can’t see any mention of ley lines. I can’t check the Gormley. Can anyone see if they are actually mentioned? KJP1 (talk) 08:11, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- I added that statement so can confirm it's in the Gormley. I've clarified the statement a bit further though - the concerns were that the statue would "bend" ley lines. Let me know if this works, but can remove if we don't think it's needed. Unexpectedlydian (talk) 09:36, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- I think the clarification’s helpful; although how “encyclopaedic” the “bending of ley lines” is, I’m not sure! Many thanks. KJP1 (talk) 10:06, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hmm I think you're right, it was presumably more of an unconventional concern. As the original source does not go into more depth than that, I'll remove the reference. Unexpectedlydian (talk) 10:20, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Given that our article on ley lines suggests they are a pseudoscience, I think that’s probably best. That said, one of my favourite authors, Fred Hando, was an ardent believer! KJP1 (talk) 10:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

- About what? KJP1 (talk) 17:00, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- I suppose it might also interfere with people's auras, horoscopes and feng shui as they drove by. – AndyFielding (talk) 20:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
