Just a little something to either makes you chuckle or get very pissed off, was talking to a mate of mine in London and he asked me what the name of this tower was so I told him Beetham, he said he was talking to some bloke down there who works in building and he was quote "ASTONISHED" that anyone would be thinking of building something so grand in Manchester. I just said "yeah well, theres a lot of ignorant people in London" Also told him to inform his pal about Eastgate and Crown and the other 20 we don't even know about yet

Unfortunately this is still the attitude of a lot of people in London, when will they learn?

some of them won't let go of the stereotype, their loss.

Oh come on , dont say your surprised Roly most people within the M25 still think we all have cloth caps and ferrets , and live in Coronation Street style terraces, only big developments like Beetham will changes there way of thinking.
