So, what you're saying is that Poundbury should be covered in graffiti, spit and litter, to give it that certain 'je ne sais quoi' of other English Towns these days....

Added to that it should have hideous, ugly buildings, crammed into tiny spaces, or high rise flat with dark, dank stairwells and alley ways, where drugs users gather and old folks are scared to walk alone..

Gee, how fooking stooopid of me to overlook this!!

Maybe it's because *I* clean up all the shit in my street, used to clean up an entire VILLAGE on Dartmoor where folks didn't give a fook, same as here in Torquay..People shoved into buildings which should have been torn down years back, or that are leased out at vast rents, never painted, cleaned or attended to, for that would mean miserly landlords having to spend money...

Yes, I see what you're getting at now...

He even bothered to put in pub, shops, a farmer's market, creating a community...bothered about removing cars, so people could walk in traffic free streets...even put in a fountain here and there...

Yes, how right you are...God Forbid that ANY English Town should be clean, beautiful, spacious, thought-through, litter free...

God forbid that ANYONE should create a town that people CARE about because the architecture CARES about them.....

Yes, let's keep England filthy, foul and furtive!

Silly, silly me...
