I'm sorry but your negative outlook cannot make me feel as proud as punch - let's revel in the fact that the younger generations coming through are not so glum.
Without true figures we can only make assumptions and my assumption is as I stated its new and everyone wants a look to see what the fuss is all about,once this building has been on the map for x amount of years the doors will stop creaking as much as they did in its hey day...its a bit like going to the cinema for the new box office buster...12 months on and the film has lost its ratings and goes into the archives of the past.

I'm allowed to critique this as you are to relevel in its opening maybe you want people to see your model and gain more popularity? but I myself find the building grotesque and out of place.
