They did a lot to publicise it, but the Press found the development of
redundant china clay pits with the largest greenhouse I the world far more
news worthy than the rescue and renovation of an old garden.
If it hadn't been yet another Millennium project, and there was that thing
in London that was taking a lot of media space at the time........and that
****** Dome cost a hell of a lot more and only lasted a year, and had a lot
of handouts just to get it through that year.

How is anyone supposed to find it when The capitol of Wales isn't signposted
till you are almost into Wales.


whereas London is sign posted 536 km away on the A4 just outside
Schiphol airport.
