ahem... Have you noticed that most modern skyscrapers are shiny, or reflective, so that they reflect the sun all the way down to street level? The sun bounces back and forth off each shiny builidng till it reaches street level. Is this a requirement to get planning permission? I know there are other benefits like keeping the heat out of the buildings and privacy, but then why not just tint the windows, why make them like mirrors. I first noticed it in Melbourne where I could be blinded by the sun reflecting of a couple of shiny buildings whilst walking along the street surrounded by skyscrapers. Just a thought, Cheers, JTL |

Out of interest, what is 'cheap' by Perths standards? Here if it gets around the 80cent mark its doing quite well these days, but the last couple of weeks it been mid-90's (sorry for going OT, just curious!) |

I still think it's really cheap compared to Holland, but then I have a really small economical car too. This weekend we drove 450 km (one way) to Albany, and that cost one tank of petrol, about $30!! Way back a bit more, cos petrol down there around 114. |
