I think the nickname 'the i-sore' is a clever invention by someone!<br /><br /> It is not much diferent from the Shoreham chimneys which were regarded locally as another eyesore until they were demolished to everyones delight.<br /><br />Some people remind us that when the Eiffel Tower in Paris was built there was an outcry about it being a blot on the landscape etc and look at it now. But at least the Paris landmark is graceful to look at by day and spectacular at night - I really can't say that of the pole and doughnut! <br /><br />I understand us locals will get reduced fares but I for one will not be taking advantage of them as I can't stand heights.Pelerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243859145007696053noreply@blogger.com
