[edit] Ugly

"has been described as one of the ugliest buildings in Britain." - by whom? I'm sure it has - but it does need a source... Secretlondon 16:10, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

I had one... then I lost it! I'll take that out while I'm trying to find the source again. Curse Google. Keithlard 16:25, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
As much as a ref would help, I would have to say that it would still be of questionable significance. Nearly all major, long-standing Brutalist buildings in the world (though for some reason especially in Britain) have been called "the ugliest building in XYZ" by someone. Park Hill, Tricorn Centre, Barbican, Royal National Theatre, Boston City Hall have all been granted that label at some point by someone. - Keith D. Tyler ΒΆ 19:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Passages from this article on BBC News

I read an article today on the BBC News website which has passages identical to ones in this article, used in their entirety and unattributed. Is this normal/appropriate/legal? Fuchsiacoelacanth (talk) 13:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
