In fairness if we're using Cov Baths as an example, mid 20th century construction didn't exactly excel either
It's more about 21st century value engineering than construction standards per se
We should have gone with stone or wattle and daub, with thatched roofs for the stands
Perhaps but the baths are getting on for 70 years old and like most public buildings were not well maintainedIn fairness if we're using Cov Baths as an example, mid 20th century construction didn't exactly excel either

Like those chimney things?We should have gone with stone or wattle and daub, with thatched roofs for the stands
I think it's metal.20 years is about right for plastic cladding isn’t it? The fact plastic cladding looks garbage is a separate point.
I think it's metal.
Yeah but that's the coating on it possibly cellulose or two pack, just looks badly faded by the ultra violet I think.Then it really is poor quality lol
The baths was an architectural gem, it's a cyring shame what has happened to it. You don't know what you've got til it's gone and all that...In fairness if we're using Cov Baths as an example, mid 20th century construction didn't exactly excel either
Apart from the fact it was built the 'wrong way round' it is/was a very nice example of post-war architecture. And I don't say that often.The baths was an architectural gem, it's a cyring shame what has happened to it. You don't know what you've got til it's gone and all that...

Fair play to this guy. Goes everywhere litterpicking. Shame the a444 is such a mess as you come off the motorway towards the cbs. Just looks like a suit tip.
Why has he buried Lampard up to his waist though?The surroundings of the arena have been litter picked
shouldn’t need to be done.
Never got the mindset of people who dump their crap everywhere
The human race is doomed, it's infested with fuckwits.There’s a park just down from us that has 4 bins around it and there’s 1 bin that gets overused while the other 3 don’t ever seem to fill up. What happens when that 1 bin gets full? It’ll be stuffed up to the holes, and then people will just put their rubbish/dog shit bags on the floor around it.
shouldn’t need to be done.
Never got the mindset of people who dump their crap i know he shouldn't need to. Fair play to ho
Yeah. I know he shouldn't need to. Im just giving him a shout out for doing something. I totally agree with you.shouldn’t need to be done.
