The title alone will no doubt attract many a view and hopefully will slip below the Mods Radar!

No you smutty lot I refer to buildings! :P Some 20 years ago Prince Charles really came out with a controversial statement calling many new buildings no more than "monstrous carbuncles" even more powerful when you consider that the comment was made in his speech during an awards ceremony for international Architects!

So what's it like where you live? Are their erections that you wish just did not existed in your neighbourhood?

The entire "business park" where I work could only be redeemed by an asteroid strike.

near to me (about 25 miles) was the infamous Tricorn Centre at P*rtsmouth.

Hideous monstrosity which thankfully was bulldozed a couple of years back

there is a magistrates court (modern ) in between 2 historic old buildings in Carlisle and indeed Prince charles did comment on that very building when he toured our City years ago

I think he used the very term you refer to.

I believe that it was this .....

That big ears with the great taste (look at his woman) was refering to. And he described it as " but what is proposed is like a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend."

This however, imho, is the nicest erection in recent years

And somewhere i'd really like to visit tbh. They did an open buildings day a couple of years ago but i wasnt free on the day, and friends who did go said the queues at all of the worthwhile buildings was just too long.
