Incredibly cheap but far too many Weegies there for my liking. Would not recommend. Cumbernauld was built as a second line of defence in the event Stirling failed to hold back the Fifers crossing the Forth. The Weegie geo political policy has always been first and foremost the fear of Fifers marching up Sauchiehall Street. Cumbernauld has helped keep the peace for over 60 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare the above film on Cumbernauld with Robert Hughes' scathing put down of Brasilia from his 'Shock of the New' series. That guy whistles a lot as he talks in a chewing the fat type way. But ”nothing dates faster than people’s fantasies about the future” is a great line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) This was something I'd heard about and has to be seen to be believed in its surreal shiteness - a promo film for Vietnauld wherein Fenella Fielding plays a Bond-style supervillain whose master plan consists of hijacking the town centre.
