British buildings are (generally) it seems very unpleasant places.  One
of my worst experiences involved being confronted by the sheer ugliness
and unpleasantness of Heathrow terminal 3 after a 24 hour flight from
New Zealand.  A good welcome to the country it isn't.

with things you couldn't care less about.
