If I'm a funded apologist I want my money!
From the way you behave I will let people draw their own conclusions.
You claim ti be an architect.
As the ex CEO of a medium sized Merseyside PLC and having a numerate discipline I have employed and instructed a number of architects throughout the years both on new build and refurb. I am fully cognoscenti of costing evaluation. In all my years experience I have never had an architect question or reject the instructions given in the board approved brief. The architect carries out the instructions given by the client, they do not under any circumstance initiate the discussion, provide the financial evaluation and convince the client of the financial merits of their concept. I have read some of your frankly childish responses to the monetary aspect here and that alone is the reason I have failed to engage in a discussion. You personally consider yourself to be designer, cost accountant, company strategist and chief exec all rolled into one, where do you get changed, in a 'phone box? Please do not flatter yourself into believing for one moment that the level of your intellect and argument has stopped me posting personally on here, nothing could be further from the case.
My experience of this process and ability to comment is two fold: I have been a season ticket holder at Anfield for over 30 years and have been involved in board level strategy decisions for a similar amount of time. Yours?
However, when my personal avatar began to be altered and insulting comments added by someone who has access I began to understand the level of person ~I was in discussion with.
I was advised very early on in life and in business 'never argue with a moron' and that is the reason I have ceased posting here.
