Hi Jason
They're using that buillding BECAUSE it's old and ugly (not sure if it's about to be demolished?)
That way if the building gets damaged while the spider is going up and down then it's not a huge problem. A lot of the 'nice' buildings around the city are listed so it would not be practical to use.
(OMG - I am turning into a La Princess geek) sorry

For £1.5M I would expect it to walk itself - anybody could knock up a few dangly legs mounted on a lorry for less than that!

Thought the elephant was disappointing for the same reason, spectacular until you see the lorry.

Never mind Africa - what about children in this area!?! Not to mention the pensioners that will be making the "heat or eat" decision, the servicemen and women that will find themselves homeless once they leave the forces because this country couldn't give a gnats bum about them! Too much of our money is given to other countries!

1.5 million was just the cost to have it imported here and put on the building etc etc, the thing its self cost ££££££?
