    Thanks for the clarification Sinkov - BT is just a moaning git. Just ignore him.

    I'd rather be a moaning old git than defer to the Establishment and doff my cap to the Royalty like most of you lot do on here.

    Some want it demolished but a council spokesman said: “The external fabric of the building appears to be saveable except for the eastern gable, which appears to have shifted slightly. This is because the walls are tied together by the roof.”

    The eastern gable could still be saved, he said, perhaps by taking it apart brick by brick and rebuilding it if the rest of the structure was salvageable.

    “There is a consensus emerging that the intention of the building control people, HES people and the art school is to save the building,” he said. “Right now, people are operating on the understanding it will be saveable.”

    That’s without knowing the cost.


    Susan Aitken, the council’s leader, said officials were considering whether to include the Mackintosh rebuild within a wider strategy already under way to re*****ise neighbouring Sauchiehall Street, including the O2 ABC music venue and Campus nightclub, which were badly damaged in the latest fire.

    It may include aggressive use of compulsory purchase powers to take control of unsalvageable buildings and build a much larger arts and entertainment campus alongside Glasgow School of Art.

    Meanwhile people can’t get to their homes hotels and businesses in blocks around have no customers Sauchiehall St is closed at both ends due to recent fires.

    Why is the word v i t a l seen as obscene!!

    It's all par for the course Casper, BT posts his lefty drivel and I point out the error of his ways, I'm sure he'd be disappointed if I didn't.
