Show me the insides of a building under construction today and id have a good guess of it’s performance. This will never have exemplary performance stats when finished… so what chance in 2030/40/50? We continue to create tomorrows problems today. Tragic, wasteful and criminal.

If insulating like this is how we tackle heat loss in old buildings then we need to stop it immediately… its totally rubbish, will be ineffective and damage original fabric. It will save no energy long term….And it looks shit too!

Priceless from The Prime Minister…. “I will not be forced into a rushed decision” There is nothing about HS2 that is fast… especially decisions!

Listening to R4 Today sadly reminds me of 2016 - Brexit. Only this time is our politicians inability to lead building HS2. Any Engineering Professional will tell you, just decide what to do and get on with it as fast as you can. This saves costs. #HS2

Do building hoardings really need skirtings and architraves that will end up in the skip? #waste

3BC’s….. 3 Brompton Commuters, nestled in the corner…. Having a chat, talking about their owners and how they look after them, just had full service, but like a spa day… feel amazing…. #Brompton
