:lol:

It's true

The shopping centre is a monstrosity.

I heard JPaul was involved in building some sites down here though. It was probably an evil ploy from the Croyians :angry:

[JPaul]

Crojans (to sound like Trojans)

[Mr. Mulder]

you wacky spaniards and your places with funny names :rolleyes:

I'm sure I see a TV programme about this place some time ago,
I don't think they will pull it down as this is just a publicly stunt to get more people to shop there.

Is that where the Cumbernauld sausage comes from?

[Skweeky1]

Erm, no Baz, they're genuinly pulling down the old shopping centre. Good thing too. It is a bit of an eyesore.

But in return we get 2 new ones :D

With H&M and TKMaxx and everything and everything!

Shame, i think it should be made a listed building, I'm into architecture.
It's a Typical example of a building gone wrong, and i'm being honest you are quite lucky to have it removed.
I bet you will have some protesters to save it, people are odd like that.

what about the Cumbernauld sausage?

[Skweeky1]

I think you're confusing that with a CumberLAND sausage.

CumberNAULD sausages would probably have sawdust in them :lol:

I did see this on the TV at one time, Channel 4 TV programme 'Demolition'
Some good pictures, it is an amazing building

Thanks for the info on the Sausages, I thought I would not get them no more, what am i like. :lol:

[Skweeky1]

The funny thing is...
when you're inside that shopping centre it's like a maze.
It took me aaaaages to figure out how to get through it and sometimes I still get lost and have to make a huge detour.
i think it's magic :lol:

[Buffalo]

Cool Sonja :lol:
This picture is best, I want to protest to save it, it's far out! wow
