Believe me - the place was a total dump for the last few years.

Broken furniture, old cleaning products and the odd bit of film reel case and that was it. As I said, plenty dead animals and mould but nothing other than that.

It certainly looks like a projector reel. Christ! Didn`t they even think of preserving some of the prized artifacts they were still in that building? Just how philistine are they? As for that "proposed" replacement for the block. Truly truly hideous. Another ugly enamel colossis bloating ...

Dear Council People, While you are at it, and generally I think these changes could be for the better - certainly the better control of taxis at Queen St station - can you please also look at methods of controlling the ridiculous amounts of taxis that park outside Central Station at Hope St/Argyle S...

You could cover from Sauchiehall Street down to St Vincent Street more or less at grade. Other parts probably a lot more difficult with level changes but even that main stretch would do a lot of good IMO.
