<p>Perhaps our elected representatives need to be challenged more forcibly about the loss of key worker accommodation and the need for much more housing for genuinely affordable rent in the City.</p>

<p>Thank you Christine, although I notice your comments of a year-and-a-half ago have disappeared from this thread... spooky! But you're alright with me, whichever way you manifest yourself. And what greater friend could a City garden have than three big ducks?</p>

<p>Bernard Morgan House is now being marketed with a guide price of £17.5 million and a suggestion that the site could offer 80,000 square feet of space if re-developed - 80% more than the current building mass and much higher. High-end residential or commercial usage is suggested.</p>
<p>Oh dear.</p>

<p>Nathan, no, but I am third cousin to Colon Powell, once-upon-a-time US Secretary of State.</p>
<p>And yes, Stefi, you're absolutely right, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I love the bulbous room at the side (like a tiny Soviet cinema) and the spindly staircases, overhanging a strange concrete garden that reminds me of Dungeness.</p>
