Noticed that the Hungerford Bridge in London was being refurbished when I was there. But the pedestrian bridges are really in need of a good look at, they are in a right state and not looked after by Westminster City Council, Southwark, Lambeth, and the City Corporation. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why is it so hard for the BBC to be bloody critical of the US government? All they do is go ‘ oh the USA have invaded Venezuela, like it’s somehow normal. It isn’t and it’s illegal.

Broadgate is really being butchered in the city of london. None of the new buildings do anything but make the place look like an incongruous mess. The AHMM building lurid red orange thing that really looks completely out of place.

I don’t know how many dogs I’ve seen in shops on my visit back to the uk. I think it’s great and shows the British really are much more tolerant of dogs in most situations than say Oz.

Had a look at the facade details which are really good. It's just a pity that Simpson Haugh and the developers cannot do something that's not just an extrusion. www.bdonline.co.uk/news/simpson...
