First of all you've spelt my name wrong. Secondly, the use of the word 'scruffy' was a bit flippant - I am allowed to be flippant you know. Thirdly, as my signature says, the views in my posts are mine and mine alone - I do not come on here to represent Accrington or Mid Pennine Arts.

I don't live in Stanhill!!!!
My point was, that those new buildings are clean and tidy but not architecturally exciting, they suit the area that they are being put in because that area would not suit a building that has cornices, columns or fancy ornate architecture.
