Why pay for something I can see on youtube/google?

Chris, can I ask if you self-identify on any spectrums?

On the back of this comment, I'm going to spend the rest of my life in my room. Everything delivered by delivery companies, and I'm going to look at the world through streetview and google earth.

Here's a sensible comparison.

I think I know where I'd spend my £25 in London.

Everything delivered by delivery companies,

Don't be daft.

Everyone on OcUK knows that delivery companies don't actually delivery anything! Especially the letter post when it been snowing.

Interestingly it is almost £10 cheaper to go up the Burj Khalifa which as well as being more than twice as high also has the far more impressive accolade of being the worlds tallest building.

What makes The Shard worth an extra £10?

The fact you get to view one of the world's greatest cities from a high vantage point which is fairly unusual in London instead of looking out over Dubai?

 

[sketchytom]

the shard looks crap.

5.99 is all it is worth

that includes delivery to my house

You are really odd.

Been up as high as the 68th floor and although the views over London were spectacular at £25 I think it is a little over priced.

I don't recall Dubai having places like Tottenham, Eastham or any of the other sphincter holes in London.

The only term London gets from great is that it is large, the rest is up in the air frankly.

My understanding was it actually was about the same as the Empire State, which is how they justified it.

It's £15.

Because no other world famous city has undesirable parts.

Confirmed - it's actually $25 which is about £15-16.

Just go up Tower 42 and have some champs whilst sitting looking out the window for less. Having worked in there for 4 years I can tell you it's plenty high enough and a great view.

Ah yeah, forgot about conversion, I knew it was roughly the same in the main country currency.

I would have said elsewhere, but I'm keeping my idea secret for when I do a London meet

Yeah I don't need to have sex as I familiarized myself with the mechanics from reading about it in books.

 

[King Damager]

A London photography meet?

Well yes, if I were available But I'm not available for the stupid November one. Which actually translates to, the trains are ******....

What is this shard you speak off? some of us in the rest of the world dont live in london and we dont have a clue what you are refering to.

You can't see it from your living room?

That's a nice rental property view that you are renting there.
