View Full Version : Britain's worst building carcrash 14-10-2004, 15:23 http://society.guardian.co.uk/urbandesign/story/0,11200,1327397,00.html A new TV show where we get to nominate and vote for the worst building and get to watch it get knocked down. wibbles 14-10-2004, 15:50 Park Hill...please have Park Hill as an option saxon51 14-10-2004, 18:31 Lloyd's building, London :gag: Plain Talker 14-10-2004, 19:20 that building in Barkers Pool with the red scaffolding pole structure-thing around it. (houses the kingdom nightclub or something, these days) that has to rate at least a 9.9 on the carbuncl-ometer. it's vile! I cannot believe that the much more aesthetic Gaumont cinema was knocked down to be replaced by that hideous thing! apart from the hideous appearance, it is vile inside, too. for example... when it opened as a cinema, the blooming loo for disabled people was situated at the top of a flight of 50-odd stairs, with no lift access. pathetic!

So some poor bloke living at no 10 Down street gets his house knocked down, and the real wazzock stays tucked up safely in his Downing Street home. Thats justice. vidster 15-10-2004, 22:57 Originally posted by Rich Number 10 Down St, London... :D Cos the bloke who lives there is a complete wazzock :lol: Pardon my French. So a 'wazzock' (in your opinion) living at number 10 'Down' st, justifies pulling down the building?????????? :loopy: Rich 16-10-2004, 13:43 Originally posted by slh73 So some poor bloke living at no 10 Down street gets his house knocked down, and the real wazzock stays tucked up safely in his Downing Street home.

WallBuilder 16-10-2004, 16:52 I think a good candidate would be Buckingham Palace, not for the way it looks but just to down size the in your face wealth of the royal family. Also whenever there's a parade,wedding, funeral I've noticed they close off the roads leading to it, what does that do for congestion and traffic chaos elsewhere in our over crowded capital city? EnvironMenta 16-10-2004, 20:37 It has to be the hideous telephone exchange (or is it an electricity station) thingy at the junction of Charter Row and St. Mary's Gate. It's like East Berlin!
