That would actually be very good. All I will say on the poll is that all those countries are great places. It does go without saying that Britain has a MASSIVE brand.

Just look at all the red double decker buses, coppers' hats, phone booths and niff-naff, you can buy in London.

Most of the 'Australiana' type souvenirs you find in the touristy parts of Australia are also made in China or korea.

Main problem with the delay has been down to a dispute with the steel companies. Multiplex's original contract went t!ts up half way through the building. They then couldn't find a supplier that would agree fixed prices on the materials - purely because steel prices are rocketing at the moment.

This cost them around 4 months.
