Host's comment. I for one hope and pray that this fairground appendage is removed as soon as possible from London's skyline. Possibly the premier and No 1 'view' in central London (looking EAST from the duck bridge in St. James' Park towards Horseguards Parade, whilst posted to 5 beat, early turn in August) has been totally ruined by this little thought out carbuncle on the face of London's historical architecture. Surely a more suitable venue could have been found for this horrendous 'sight' forced upon us all. This is a personal view of your host and in no way is attributed to Tom Renshaw. (sorry Tom and all visitors! I've got that off my chest). |
