Love it or list it

BBC Northern Ireland is having second thoughts about moving from its current headquarters, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

Ever since Scotland got Pacific Quay and Wales secured a site at the bus station at Cardiff, it's been assumed NI would want its own new HQ too. They've flirted with Titanic Quarter, fluttered their eyes at sites off Royal Avenue, and pouted at the Sirocco Works development on the east bank of the Lagan.

Now, the Telegraph says they're leaning towards staying in Ormeau Avenue and undertaking a major refurbishment programme on a building that first opened in 1941. It's much handier for those nice shops and bars. A BBC spokesman said "The review into our property requirements is still ongoing".

  1. Treat anybody who uses the Americanism "ongoing" with suspicion
