Couldn't help noticing last night that in "Europe's premier arts centre"
the flooring consists of crosscut 4" x 2" softwood, including the burn
marks where the resin has melted on the saw blade. If I laid that in my
work room I'd be ashamed.
The walls are distressed concrete which look as though someone has tried
to demolish them with an sds and given up.
And a pint of San Miguel is £7.
I knew I should have stayed at home.

"Trendy" is pushing it a bit - it was done it 1971.

I haven't need there for some time, but it always struck me that
they must have run out of money just after pouring the concrete.

Was it? Opened in 1982 I thought. The flooring (such as it is) certainly
looks newer than that, and I can't see softwood end grain lasting that
long in a heavy traffic area.

Kind of puts you off ever going back, which doesn't seem like good
