Good to finally see at least a wee bit of balance in a letters page devoted entirely to the subject in today's ET:

I DARE say that when plans for Glasgow Cathedral were unveiled there will have been a bunch of Dark Ages busybodies bemoaning the loss of whatever was on the site previously.

It's hard to disagree with this article. The Springburn halls are a shambles which is a total and utter disgrace. GCC want to turn Glasgow into some sort of "futuristic" nirvana, with lego type buildings dominating every turn. It's a real shame.

One of the worst buildings of modern times? The Princess Royal Maternity. Ugly archiecture, ugly colour and ugly inside. How on earth did this pass the planning stages?

How on earth can they thing of demolishing it? Cracking building. If it were in any other city in the UK, we wouldn't even be having this debate.

Isn't this exactly the sort of industrial building that yer genuine yuppy wants to be living in so's he can kid himself on he's a TriBeCa boho trustafarian and not just a 40 year interest only mortgaged up to the hilt bawbag with a DFS sofa on tick till 2020 and a credit card balance bigger than Lichtenstein's national debt?

Forgive me for pointing it out but the Beco Building screams LOFTS! at you from every angle and yet once again Glasgow City Council would rather knock it down. Are the councillors on commision from Cementation?

We should ask M'lord Rogers to come up and cover it with Alcan, then they'd want it!

If y'all feel so strongly then you should rattle a letter of objection off to planning: enough of them and you'll have to be taken seriously.

Guess I must be a delusional yuppy coz I'd love to live in a flat in this building. Every days a school day!
