Ah Sunshine Plaza Mike
Was involved with that centre from day one - there was a very small centre on one side of river and a caravan park in the other
Went through 2 massive developments it was pretty good fun really
Probably valued around the $800m - $1bn these days
Very happy days on that one
Yes agreed. My arse**le comment was very tongue-in-cheek.
Sunshine Plaza current value $1.2bn Mike
That looks very nice indeed.
That looks lovely. Beautiful windows. Why the map of the U.K.? You are in the NL safely inside the EU. We are outsiders now 
Iāve more maps, but this one did not have a place anymore in the main house but covers the wall nicely.
Iām still looking for a large map of Europe in 1913
Looks fantastic and your windows look very similar to the ones weāll be using.
I wasnāt sure whether to ācut & pasteā a couple of articles iāve just browsed and put them in the āBest Jokesā thread or ā¦

Looks like British Airways has finally revealed its new uniforms. The first change in 20 years.
Generally IMHO, the uniforms look OK but it seems as if some of the aircrew arenāt impressed.
However, what caught my eye is the fact that crew can apparently āgender identifyā. Specifically, Male pilots and cabin crew can wear makeup and carry handbags. They can also op to wear the skirts and blouses etc that the company anticipated most female crew would elect to wear.
I thought I had mis-read the report, until I looked at the accompanying photograph.
Mrs D thinks iām an old fuddy-duddy who needs to wake up (or is that woke up ?) and move with changes in current society.
Iām not sure if I should heed her advice or be worried by her advice !!
Don Iād be more inclined to follow Mrs Dās advice. Imo thereās far too much serious sh*t going on that needs more attention.
Started brick cleaning in earnest yesterday and also restarted swimming. Mrs Pete away with friends for the week which also meant I was up painting till just after midnight. Woke up this morning and am struggling to stand upright. 
A photo of Dartmouth in the nice photo thread reminded me that Iād never finished my only 2 UK paintings. Think theyāre done now, hope I havenāt offended any Devon locals.
Anyway itās just after 9am here and Iām off to clean more bricks.
Lovely paintings a wonderful talent.
That road sign is going to date your painting. 40mph in the UK some people would dream about the g force and nose bleeds from that velocity.
Thank you, driving down to Dartmouth I was more worried about losing a minor as the truck screamed past.
Better keep practiced with the painting otherwise itsā¦ā¦Pete_the_brickš
Thatās very funny @Gazza 
.
I was about to post that Iād given up and hired my builder to help, he starts tomorrow. Iām too old for this kind of stuff.
The auto checker would have great funš
Things have moved along here Josh is slightly faster than me at cleaning bricks.
In a morning weāve almost done what took me alone 4 days and no one mentioned colonoscopy.
