swiss centre demolition has properly started. they've got rid of the cooling tower on the lower roof (the building is a three storey or so long building, with a skyscraper poking out of part of it), in bits, with their giant crane. they also used their giant crane to move a JCB onto the roof, which was today hacking at concrete. maybe the JCB will cut a big circle in the concrete and then fall inside the building?

yet they still sell tickets out of it.

This (http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/planning_decisions/strategic_dev/2007/20070905/swiss_centre_report.pdf) is better, apparently the nightclub and theatre didn't have planning permission.
