has become three hours approx. and few posts later I distinctly remember Uncle Kelvin, who then worked for Laings, telling us the deal was that Laings would also be building a church in Saudi Arabia as well as the mosque in London, a sort of 'exchange'.

Lizzie - the church and land deal - whatever you or anyone else says was not in Saudia Arabia, but in Cairo.

I am fed up of doing simple basic research for you when you get things wrong. There is more to the world than Wikipedia.

Here is what you said "Years back, as I recall...Laings (the building firm) built the mosque in Regent's Park. Now, I may be wrong here, but....as I remember, the deal with King Faisal was that Laings would build the mosque over here and...the British would build a church over in Saudi...again, built by Laings.

One building was built.

Guess which one?"

There was no deal with King Faisal. It was complete and utter horlicks and trying to dodge out of it will not do. An apology to the people reading this thread for failure to do basic research would be nice. Not that I expect you to admit you are wrong.

Regular readers will no doubt expect as I do, wails of heartache from Lizzie how I follow her around contradicting the horlicks she posts.

This is a fine example.
