Desperately Seeking Susans Posted March 14, 2020 Report Posted March 14, 2020 Doesn't surprise me. For decades now this fine building has been lying derelict and the local authority should be asking themselves why didn't they liaise with the owner in trying to utilise this historic building into something useful. After the fire at the Glasgow School of Art I would have thought a wake-up call should have been taken on by local authorities by examining all historic buildings which may be at risk. Quote

Did not believe they had the technology to tell which channel the television was tuned to. I received a visit from them in the 1970,s. Invited them into the flat to prove to them I didn't have a television. Quote

I took this picture today of part of the old RAI hospital displaying yet again, another example of how our architectural heritage is being left to ruin and possible arson. Hopefully, if any of our Buddie supporting councillors/architectural/planning officials are reading this perhaps they could investigate before its too late. Quote
