RENAISSANCE LANGUAGE

Barnsley Council was probably the first council to have published the 'f' word in its un-asterixed form. In an interview about Urban Renaissance values with the robust beer quaffing-fag smoking architect Will Alsop a reporter asked if the technology existed which would put a halo of light that could be seen sixteen miles away in Doncaster around the Town Hall tower.

Alsop said, 'How the f*** should I know.' Without it the man was only half himself.

Barnsley let all the letters in this revealing response count. Bravo Barnsley.
