I'll believe that when I see it!
Well indeed. What a complete waste of time and effort. No one would
sanction the construction of such a monstrosity across Hyde Park and he
may find it a tad difficult to provide any foundations in and around
Oxford Circus - there's a bit of big hole underground :-)
MonoMetro Limited is said to be owned by architect Gareth Pearce and
three other partners. Is this the same Gareth Pearce who features in
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,586889,00.html ? He
was variously described on that occasion as "virtually unemployed",
"inefficient", "arrogant and unreasonable". He now wants to demonstrate
his concept by linking Kensington High Street and Oxford Street by a
monorail *across Hyde Park*!
Hmm - an alternative view of how to win friends and influence people.
