Stopped for a look round it yesterday, for the first time since the
roadworks have been finished. It's a bit good, isn't it? Actually feels like a proper world square now, instead of a road junction that happens to have a guy stood on a pole in the middle of it. An Irish friend of mine said something similar, and mentioned that when he'd first been there five years ago he'd been disappointed at how uncivilized it was. Just thought I'd break things up a bit by saying something nice about this place... Best, Jonn |

I was referring to the new measures set into the steps. They are just numbers - only by examining them closely would anyone realise they are measures. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.

Nice, 'innit! Walked through it this afternoon with guests from out of town and we were much impressed.
