      A coalition of Lib-Dems and Tories to misgovern the place. The Tories should have been left to run a minority government and then turfed out at the earliest opportunity.

      [Trouble is, that would probably have resulted in another Labour government, and I very much doubt that would be any better. ]

        Anything made of that appalling reconstituted stuff meant to look like sandstone. And any ugly buildings made of concrete.

          It wasn't
          I used to do gigs in some squatted flats there in the 1980's

            Any buildings you can think of, Bryn?

                    Sorry, not off-hand. I even resist moaning about The Shard.

                          Well it might have been better left as and adjunct to Chavey Down. I gather they are not now planning on demolishing that damned wind-trap, the so-called 3M building,
                          but converting it into flats, etc.

                              what is it with round and oval shaped things that you particularly find objectionable ?
