COME and see the gherkin.
It may not be the healthiest
of foods, but the humble
gherkin is set to take over
London.
A symbol of all that some
love, and some hate, about
hamburgers, and noted for its
ability to entertain simply by
racing down the pane of a
McDonalds window, the
gherkin may become a feature
of the London skyline during
April, with plans to cover the
iconic Gherkin building in the
‘skin’ of a gherkin.
The brainchild of online
bingo site Jackpotjoy.com, the
stunt would see the 180-
metre tall building shrouded
in the knobbly skin of a salty
pickled gherkin, in a covering
process that would take 10
workers 900 hours to
complete.
Whilst not good for the
arteries, it is hoped the
gherkin will be good for
morale, with Jackpotjoy’s md
Michael Saunders saying “The
Gherkin is such an iconic
building and with a name like
that we just couldn't resist the
opportunity for some more
daft fun by attempting to
transform it into the very
thing it is so aptly named after”.
