Do You Remember The Nursery Rhythm About The 3 Little Piggies?

each time they built their house it had to become stronger and stronger until the big bad wolf could not blow it down? you would have thought they would have made it bomb proof, which is what the Welsh Assembly Government's did when taxpayers paid for the eco-friendly £20.2m HQ, but about 500 white collar workers were stopped from coming into the building in Sarn Mynach, Llandudno Junction, far from being bomb proof it was found unlike any other building in the area not to be wind proof!

local councillor Mike Priestley said: 'I'm quite surprised that a building that has been designed to withstand bombs has bits falling off it in the wind.' one worker, who was turned away said: 'I understand the need for safety but I'm disappointed that such a modern, multi-million pound building should be in such a state, older buildings don't seem to have any problems,' the WAG website says it houses staff in departments including Children, Education, Lifelong Learning & Skills; Economy & Transport; Rural Affairs & Heritage; Health & Social Services; Social Justice & Local Government; Environment, Sustainability & Housing; Corporate Information & Services; Public Service & Performance and Human Resources,

I wonder if the council can claim the wages paid to the staff from the company that built it? in this litigious age something along the lines of 'a product not fit for the purpose it was designed for,' springs to mind, but as usual the wages for the 500 staff will be picked up by - you guessed it - the taxpayer!
