BBC - Liverpool - Capital of Culture - Liverpool from the air:

Saw this article on the 10 o'clock news this evening. Still seems like a strange way to celebrate winning European Capital of Culture for 2008 - ie. by tearing down the city's heritage and building a 42 acre concrete and glass monstrosity on it full of new shops and hotels (which looks like any city anywhere in the world). Ho hum. Oh, and it's made getting in and out of Liverpool around all the building work absolute hell too.
