Well I'm not going to flog a dead horse..............................Oh well alright then.
EM, I'm not having a go, but I really must take issue with you on this particular topic.
The last time I was there, admittedly a while back, some of the bicycles were suspended up in the air and the motorbikes (keen fan me) although not a particularly good or well cared for collection are also stacked up the bloody wall as well.
As for the ships on a conveyor belt Pleeeeez!!!!! POS, you have to walk along and just as you want to look some more, the bloody thing disappears. What was wrong with the ship room in the Kelvin Hall. You could choose what you wanted to look at and stand and examine in detail the models for as long as you liked. To update it, all it would have needed were some computers containing info on the ships' histories and then indexed to the models. Want to know more? Go to the computer key in the code and get the bumf, simples and relatively cheap.
City Chambers tried the usual spin about the street, Ok I suppose for some its an attraction, it doesn't do much for me to much of gimmick. I think the trams are good, reasonably explained and you can get access to them.
BUT at the end of the day ITS TOO BLOODY SMALL end of. Spin it how you like, people are not as stupid as our city fathers would like to believe quite the reverse that's why you see the reaction here. A lot of our money wasted on a vanity/iconic building project and it still looks like a shed, a fancy shed but still a shed.
Right I'll get ma coat, and put down the stick
