Rewatched the Troll-A programme with Hammond (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00j6r4m) on Sunday; the bit about the legs and the continuous pouring method never ceases to amaze.
Nah, that's just some bizarre stillborn product of a mating between a Hochbunker and a French water tower (and you just know who was the giver and who was the receiver in that particular relationship).
I quite like brutalist shopping centres. The Mander Centre in Wolverhampton, particularly. I do dislike the modern contrivance of painting their innards white, rather than leaving the concrete bare like wot woz intended in the 60's. It's like painting the timbers in a half-timbered house the same colour as the wattle-and-daub; you lose the marvel of achievement in the construction. Kidderminster Swan Centre multi-storey car park, there's another unsung brutalist masterpiece.
