'Stars' of the show are 2 regular architects who come up with very different ideas which participants have to choose between based on the VR. Of all the trades I had to work with over the years I found architects (together with planners) the most difficult to work with. They always wanted to press their ideas on the clients and paid very little heed to what they wanted or I suggested and often what the budget was. Apologies if you are an architect or a planner but that was my experience

And the other reason I love it that presenter Angela Scanlon is one very very saucy young lady.
Apology accepted [/QUOTE]

So come on Q were you the architect who paid little attention to the clients wishes or budgets or the planner who held up work for months whilst making a decision on which windows had to be fitted to a delapidated properties that were an eyesore.

My favourite story involving an architect was on my of my early builds the architect was managing. The build had already started without an agreed solution to access to an extension. The architect's answer was going to cost around £10k the owner's was £7k and a bit of a dog's breakfast. I hadn't got an answer. My young carpenter came up with a solution that cost me £500 and the owner £800. I gave the carpenter the £300 and eventually took him on full time. Worked for me until I retired.

So sir defend yourself!

At school I always wanted to be an architect.
