I decided that the fence across from Princes Street in Edinburgh that encircled the gardens would be the perfect place to hang the labels. This way I was not hanging them directly out side the store and less likely to for them to phone the police, but was still in a busy public area that was full of consumers.
I was really pleased with the response I got from the public with some wanting to take a label or two away with them. One women was a teacher and wanted to take one to show her class, another was a Chinese student who admitted she had never thought about it before and I gave her the details of websites to find out more. When I stepped back it was interesting to see the publics response to them. I noticed straight away that the labels that were placed on every second post got a larger response due to their repetition. Some merely slowed on their way by, though I got an enormous sense of pride in my work when some stopped to read the labels and a few took them away. I had other labels placed randomly on other parts of the fencing though they didn't draw very much attention. I feel that this was very successful and am looking forward to Glasgow tomorrow.
