The European Union flag, the Holiday Inn flag and the Union Jack fly in the car park. What does this mean? The Holiday Inn flag stands in the centre. What values do we associate with that flag and how do they interact with those which we might associate with the other two? What do they stand for? In the expanse of bland architecture, a small white tower breaks up the roofline and is echoed by the porch at ground level. There is nothing to be offended by unless you make the effort to notice the building, which it tries its hardest to prevent you from doing. Their ordinariness makes them invisible, but in future days, these ordinary buildings will be of interest in many ways. Many businesses and organisations use these venues to conduct their affairs.
