What is your views on the Angle of the North? I think it's really neat and would love to see it some day.
I think it is a bit over-rated. Usually witnessed as a disappointing glance of a rusty mess when passing on the A1, at a distance that perfectly ruins any impact of scale. The whole concept of holding up one mediocre statue as some kind of symbol of "The North" to London types reflects a lot of what is wrong with the UK. Not terrible, but slightly underwhelming given the hype.
A BIT over rated? Its friggin' bizarre, grotesque, butt ugly. One day a tornado will come along and with that wingspan someones in for a flying lesson. What the hells happening to my country? That ferkin great ferris wheel in London too, its gone to the dogs if you ask me.
Oh and why is that car in the right lane? Don't English people drive on the left any more?

Nothing wrong with the London Eye. The London skyline has been obliterated thanks to some of the ugliest buildings ever designed (the Shard for example) and you pick on a bloody ferris wheel!

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb!
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)

the "new" townhall, in Sheffield, we used to all sit on the grassy area in front and get **** and stoned (the peace gardens) (ive sat there with our very own Mile before too) there could be like 100 punks, metallers, winos, homeless and smackheads sat there getting wrecked through the 70s, 80s, 90s
just under the front is a shelter area and theres a fountain? we used to get thrown in there if it was known it was your birthday (after being forced to sup a 2 litre bottle of cider in 1) glad my birthday was in april lol

I'm feeling like maybe since there's a William Hill sign on the side of it the upper part is used to process the race horses from the track that are no longer providing the goods into Superglue, and MacDonalds Cheeseburgers.
I see there is a door at one end, where if people try to escape they fall to their deaths. Maybe the William Hill at the bottom takes bets on what injuries will be sustained. 2-1 death, 3-1 paralysis, 4-1 Broken Collarbone and punctured lung and so on.
Horses for courses and all that. Check out this beauty I took just the other week. A classic bit of UK Brutalism.
You'll be telling me that The Designers Republic and Build are rubbish, too, with it's use of brutalist buildings within it's design!
Seriously, though, if we all liked the same things the world would be incredibly boring, eh?
Is that Forton Services by Lancaster? I think Hilton Park in Birmingham has a similar shaped building, but it's not in such a rural setting, so that makes me say Forton.

In Sandnes, Norway they've taken crap architecture to a new level. I'm undecided about it. Sorry if it's been posted already.
