Birmingham, Saturday 25th September, 2010.

1) A veritable tsunami of flowers has been washed up New Street to crash against the shores of Victoria Square.

2) Harvey Nick's is up for a bit of a marketing opportunity.
3) Meeting up with Richard and Caroline. And what's that beneath us? The Home Made Burger Co? Yay, it's serendipity. Let's go in!

4) After a good meal and a right-good catch-up we need to walk off our burgers, so we wander down to The Cube to see how it's coming along.

5) We may have already mentioned this: the architect was trying to echo a jewellery box with the design. We are warming to the exterior concept but Caroline has spotted a flaw.........



6)............there's a cowin' big hole in the roof. That is to say, there isn't one. So when you come inside from the outside you are still not quite inside. Not a very secure jewellery box then. And folk will get wet in inclement weather. Cowin' architects.




7) And what's this bit supposed to echo? A Klingon battle cruiser?

8) Only two sets of escalators are running at present.......





9).........but we can get the drift. What will it be like when it is fully occupied? More to the point: when will it achieve full occupation in these grim times?

10) You've viewed the images, now read the hyperbole.
