Turnover (IE revenue - sales) dropped by 5% but that translated to wiping out profits almost entirely, presumably as costs went up at the same time.

Thanks. It's written poorly eh?

I can’t read the article and not a building industry pro, but it’s definitely a low number.
But maybe building in a swamp is really cheap?

I would have called it a cess pit but swamp comes close.

Sorry AJ links usually work at least once in incognito mode. The article is basically "there was this plan but it's not gonna happen"

No problem, didn’t try very hard.

I could imagine quite a few good operational reasons for Ashford over Perivale regardless of shithole-ness. I would be interested to know how much strategic analysis was done before commissioning design work. Maybe it was just a punt to explore a concept more than anything ? I havn’t read the article but I don’t remember seeing much more than some concept renders ? Wasn’t anywhere near planning was it ?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
