In the back of this picture is a tower- the British Telecom Tower. It is rather non-attractive, but I have been mildly fascinated in it for years largely dur to the fact that it features in the climax of a film I've since at least 30 times- the 60's comedy "Smashing Time". In the film it is given groovy names like, "London's heaven threatener" and "the scene with the built in trip", in reference to it's stature as London's then-tallest building and to the revolving restaurant that sits atop, hance it's name, "The Top Of The Tower". Said restaurant has remained shut since 1971 when the IRA decided to blow up the men's loo (?!) but rumour was that it was to reopen this year. I must find out... Posted by Picasa
