New builds always have tiny windows as this is more energy efficient

that's silly, flats from the mid 20th C can have massive windows

I'm open to exceptions.
but I don't remember seeing anything nice looking built since the 1930s and given a choice I'd go Victorian all the way.

Most new builds are awful
However there are decent building companies out there, I liked the Charles Church one that Sporto was thinking about buying on the coast last year.

No, but most of the stuff from the past was fairly uniform, too.
You can't really get away from it when you're building on a large scale.

Man, you're so defensive today, Nakers. Are you blobbing?
