    I used to work about 2 mins around the corner from where that photograph was taken, and while Grangetown is widely recognised as one of the worst parts of Middlesbrough (I know) the people there were generally really nice.

    And AB <applause> One of the nicest streets in the country.

    ****ing hell, no kidding, that building is hideous. It's almost like somebody sat back and thought "Hmm, how can I make Brutalism look even worse?"

    I am sorry but Whip - Ma - Whop - Ma Gate in York is by far the greatest street. Not only does it have an amazing name but it is in York! :p

    That's why so many American tourists come over here, to see the old buildings.

    Yep you're absolutely right. The US has a something of a reputation for bulldozing old buildings to make way for the new, which is what gets Europe so many US tourists! Anyway, as long as they don't touch the unbelievably gorgeous Woolworth Building I'm happy.
