  Jeff you missed out one extra eyesore.
  I would say Eyesore, eyesore, eyesore, eyesore.
  Howard you day that the market square was a desolate wasteland before the giant telly was installed. It's still a giant wasteland only it's got a giant telly to make it worse.
  If this is the only answer to town regeneration then God help us all.
  It's hardly used for the purpose it was intended for -ie. throngs of happy smiling workers cheering and jumping for joy whilst watching the magnificent display of athletic prowess etc. etc. etc.
  It is merely a disgusting attempt to regenerate on the cheap.
  For the more discerning it is appalling. Visitors to the town must see this thing for the first time and think "Oh My God. Is this Dover? Is this the historic town we were led to believe it was in the brochures?"
  Then they go somewhere with a bit more life and dynamics such as Canterbury.
  I don't blame them. I always try to avoid venturing towards that area. It just depresses me. What with the tattyness, the half knocked down buildings, the drunks, derelict buildings.
  I'm still wondering if they intend removing it after the olympics.
