ma missus thinks it could have been put somewhere (more) useful, eg nav mark .... ??

I was a fan but from that angle it doesn't half look like a footballer facing up to a free kick with his hands over the family jewels.

Looks like it could be finished in time for the Trafalgar celebrations - as long as the City Council cough up!

Nothing but a very expensive white elephant IMO

It's called the Millenium tower and it was supposed to be finished well, er... a while ago.

Strange how there is no money for the light rail scheme and cross harbour tunnel but plenty for PCC's ego massager.

Does this hideous monstrosity serve any purpose at all?

It has drifted a few million over budget it is late and looks awful.
Perhaps the money would have been better spent keeping Haslar Hospital open?

NO!

Umpteen million to build, and several million more to knock it down again - soon I hope!

Locals are said to liken it to a Pompey tart waiting for the next naval vessel to come in: looks like hell - big belly - legs apart!

It even has a red light on it!
