Big Window is Too Big

Being an honest man, I must start this blog with a quick retraction. I was kindly told after commenting on a rival Abingdon blog that it, in fact wasn't tax payer's money that forked out for this mess in the precinct; but money from 'Scottish Widows'. I'm sure if you walk the precinct at night you will see her slender form swathed in black, pulling down her trademark hood to tut at the absolute pigs ear they've made of it. What gets me most about the precinct refurbishment is the giant window at the end. We're used to this size of window on the trading estate but not in the town centre! And to make matters worse; looking at the plans I can see they originally intended for the window to be even bigger. Thank goodness for corner cutting making these wannabe Michaelangelos see sense.

Abingdon people want their windows to look like windows; not gaping giant portals into another universe. To add insult to injury, there is a window right next to it that is just as big. What sort of enterprise needs gargantuan windows this big? The only enterprise I can think of; is the starship enterprise; I can easily imagine Captain Jean Luc Piccard and Lieutenant Wharf staring out of one of these oversized pieces of glass into the depths of another solar system. I'd compare this so called precinct 'facelift', to most of the surgical procedures performed on the late Michael Jackson's face; botched and irreparable.
