:cheers: I was in Birmingham a couple of months ago. Especially remember the tour around the channels, the drug dealers the smell of urine...

Cheers. Good to hear it's off the drawing board then. Are they going to follow the original design? I liked that one.

The rumours are No. Eric Khune is designing it and rumours suggest it will look a bit like a squeezed in toothpaste tube, however with a rockefella type atrium.

Looks okay, but I see lots of buildings that are just plane ugly.
