    I quite enjoyed it (except for Lloyds accent and I guess he can't help that. The guy who planned to build the 4th Grace made me laugh - what a big head. He reckoned it didn't get built because we didn't really think we were worthy of it! And as for his assertion that Liverpool and Manchester are really just one city........

    Or so he would like us to think!

    Without Googling can anybody name a building he's famous for, apart from that awful 'cloud'?

    I go along with you there Phil. Such a great architect would have had a plan for an interior design and usage. I think he was just looking for a guinea pig to try out a costly escalating, radical design but not on our World Heritage site please. I see no other city has jumped in saying they'll have it instead and that says more about it than anything else.
