WHY?!?

English Heritage wants to save some of the worst architectural eyesores of the 20th century rather than raising valuable funds by raffling off a chance to press the plunger.

Where's the Luftwaffe when you need it?

Isn't masochism the British Perversion? This would seem to qualify:-)

It isn't merely British insanity. It occurs in Finland too.

Helsinki is going to save Viljo Revell's eyesore City-Center, colloquially known as Makkaratalo (The Sausage House), due to its hideously ugley concrete sausage circulating it on the second floor.

[We call this kind of architectural brainfarts as "silmänsolvaus" (insult to eye) in Finnish.]
