Dear all,
Right about here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=westwood+cross&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=11.994514,25.136719&ie=UTF8&ll=51.359827,1.395685&spn=0.001546,0.003068&t=h&z=19 where all those cars are parked in the satellite view is now a building site. It's 'phase II' of the large shopping center to the north-east ofthat image.
All along that road there is a temporary wall of plywood panels, painted up blue and white and with the main contractor's logo repeated everywhere. Pretty standard for a largish building site nowadays.By now, gentle reader, I expect you're all asking "Well, of what possible relevance is this, Matthew?"
Just this: between the logos there are some architects impressions of the finished row of shops. They're obviously all made up shop boards from who knows where. You'll be pleased to hear that FreeBSD apparently has taken a lease on a 1000sq foot set of premises and the logo will bedisplayed prominently in letters a meter high -- red text in the authentic style and red horny-ball logo and all.
I couldn't believe it when I caught sight of it as I was driving past.
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity (or means) to take pictures. I
wonder if they asked permission at all?
Cheers,
Matthew
