    I can't see them ever being "banned." The building regulations development has already "evolved" them out of use as a single external wall leaf in most cases.

    I found a quite a few architects who like them where a 215mm leaf is required (either internally or as the internal leaf of an external wall) because they can be used to give a fair-faced finish that looks like block on the edge.

    I've found them to be very tricky when it comes to structural design.

    I know a scheme of 60+ houses being built with them in Dublin right now, so like the bad guys, " they haven't gone away you know...!".....

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    That is very dissapointing. I know I have been saying they won't dissappear - I do wish they would though.
