No respect for history. Should either be the Banqueting House or the Tower.
surely 416 years after the gunpowder plot was exposed and its proponents so cruelly executed the time has finally come to allow the nefarious scheme of fawkes and co to proceed, and to render the horrendous cost of refurbishing the palace of westminster redundant.No respect for history.

You must have just moved to Great Britain. Allow me to introduce you to the fascinating world of £27m consultancy studies into building a bridge, and £107bn railway routes.How does that cost 2 million quid? It’s a scaffolding framework clad with board and a bunch of earth and trees stuck on it.
London was pleasantly quiet last weekend from what I saw. Busy enough to not feel deserted but quiet enough to not feel harassed which I usually do.Despite it being underwhelming it is still a great time to visit London. Things are open (just) and there are no tourists.

has it got a nickname yet? I propose The Lump.
(or The Green Hill Zone, as it looks like a Sonic level)
Took a walk round it this afternoon. It did seem to be open but there was nobody actually on it (apart from staff). There were a lot of tourists wandering around the edges with expressions saying "what the fuck is this".
And they were only looking for the way out of Primark.I saw 2 people on it yesterday
Carbuncle.Not the Mound, the Boil.
Actually calling it "the mound" officially is kind of pre-nicknaming it.
