More rooftop real estate for pirate radio station transmitters in other

Yes Boltar.


Don't live in north london do you.


Nah, I live in south London where good old fashioned static noise (as
opposed to interference) ...


Technically, it is "white noise", I believe.

on the FM dial is rarer than a ticket
inspection on Southern or Southeastern's 'metro' trains. These towers
may be many things, but I think it's unlikely they're going to be at
the top of the pirates hit list - they're the new type of towers, with
a mix of ownership, social housing and offices, with concierges at the
entrances etc - not the badlands of old.


Despite their poor reputation in the United Kingdom, I believe there
is a market for the right type of "high rise” condominium homes.
They are clearly not for families with children. But, given a
doorman, and added security, they are ideal for students, professional
couples, and some retired folks, etc. The concept is reasonably
popular in these United States.
