I'm amazed it's only killed one person so far. I'd like to think the designer has a heavy weight upon his conscience, but probably not, based upon the fact it's still there. Deadly and I think the biggest screw up for our DOI, which isn't event that complex or difficult to fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it will look lovely in 12 months all tarnished and full of dents where stones have hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lady jogger nearly came straight across in front of me some days ago hence I asked whether it was a crossing, in view of the fact that it isn't, it needs ripping up, seems to me to give the wrong message to those not paying full attention ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This replaces the ridiculous stumpy giant victorian lamposts that lived there before. Hopefully this will be high enough to stop the waft of raw sewage on the multimillion pound public fun space. I suspect it's is destined for an accident with a maintenance vehicle at some point in the future. Let's hope the stainless steel is of the right grade for a marine environemnt as well as the rivets... or it'll end up looking like a leaky sewage pipe with brown stains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, as mentioned above, stainless steel, SS, is actually NOT stainless. It rusts like hell in a sea washed environment without a very strict cleaning regime which those vents will not get. Any decent engineer knows that, so the question is, who the fuc9 specified SS as a material for decorative vents on the promenade which, I don't think its a secret, gets quite a bit of "Weather" Edited July 30, 2021 by Boris Johnson 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
