The eye of the beholder?

A survey, as reported by the BBC, has found that Birmingham's Bullring has been voted "Britain's ugliest building". Does make you wonder just who was surveyed, and whether they've ever been anywhere near Birmingham, because if they had, they would know that the Bullring is an area, and not a building! Maybe they are actually referring to Selfridges, which is certainly a striking building not to everybody's taste, but this is just small part of the Bullring. I wouldn't however disagree with the Central Library being put in second place. It is certainly a very stark, blocky building which Prince Charles once famously described as looking more like a place for burning books than storing them. It is due for demolition when the library eventually moves to its new location, and I think few Brummies will mourn its passing.
