I just know as I know London. Londoners speak too much and don't get nothing done. That’s a true fact. It says it in one of my secret box of books.

Went past the site the other week & they have completely demolished the low rise part of the old stock exchange & surrounding area so would guess they will be starting on the tower now that they can access the site.

So do I qualify for the £100 now JameC

I went to Uni in Plymski. Before they did up Home Park and started on the new shopping centre. How is that coming along anyway?

Nah, nothing new on the externals of the tower... and they removed the crane too which is odd. The buildings at ground level have all been reduced to rubble. Wish they had pulled the whole thing down to be honest.

Completion is due within 12 months, and it's a big building, so the cladding is bound to start going on soon.

I went past the Stock Exchange the other day. They've totally demolished the triangular bit of the building and there seemed to be lots of activity on site. Maybe they've been doing an archeological dig....

I think they'll be ready to start dismantling/recladding the tower soon.
