I've got no real connection with the old college, other than it's a building I've walked past hundreds of times and I'd hate to see it replaced by yet more yuppie flats. ( Yep, I still use the word "yuppie"... unfortunately, their type still exist in these recession-hit times. )<br />But I'm sure this situation is far more upsetting for all the people who attended/taught in the college over the years.Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-17846120992264734402011-06-22T16:13:27.712+01:002011-06-22T16:13:27.712+01:00I noticed some interesting graffiti of the Banksy ...I noticed some interesting graffiti of the Banksy stencil type in the old NCP multi story near the college. I'll take a picture next time I'm there.<br />It really upsets me that the old college is being knocked down as my dad used to lecture there and I still remember how proud I was to see his new office when he started.Emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-67066567876822202042011-06-21T21:14:15.228+01:002011-06-21T21:14:15.228+01:00I hate to sound like an old fart, but it does piss...I hate to sound like an old fart, but it does piss me off to see more and more of our history disappearing. The problem with the English ( well, one of them, at least... ) is that as a nation we have little sense of our own heritage, which is ironic when we have such a long and rich history...Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-37710921160713102952011-06-21T20:48:37.194+01:002011-06-21T20:48:37.194+01:00breaks my heart.
