Even people who live in more ordinary settings sometimes can't resist doing something to make them stand out from the crowd. One extreme example of this 50 is Bill Heines' house in Headington, Oxfordshire. Until See one morning in 1986, his house looked much like all the others in his street, when suddenly overnight a 7.5 m long fibreglass shark appeared to have crashed through the roof. The shark was a sculpture by local artist John 55 Buckley. At first some people complained that it might be dangerous or that it spoilt the look of the neighbourhood but engineers checked that the sculpture was safe and popular landmark. It seems that no matter where you live, 60 you can always do something to make sure your house says something about who you are
