Swastika buildings

If anyone has stagged on at Balmoral, they may remember seeing swastikas all over the bottom of the castle War Memorial.

The Estate had to put a note explaining the original peaceful implications as they were part of the original WWI memorial and looked so out of place post WWII.

When I was Adventure Training in India in the late '80's we found. via a Beer warehouse, Swastika Beer. It had a red label and tasted foul. We would have brought some back but it wouldn't have survived in our bergens. :(

Also we stayed at the Swastika Hotel in down-town Delhi. It was about as posh as below. I tryed to get the Rules of the hotel off the back of the door was couldn't get the bloody thing off.

Found this in a news report on Swastikas on London buildings;

The swastika is the oldest known symbol in the world, predating the cross by about 1,000 years.

Until the Nazis made it a symbol of horror and dread, it was used to represent life, sun, power, strength and good luck

I don't know anything about Nazi symbology at Denver Intl, but I can tell you the layout makes it an absolute pain in the arse. It seems like you can quite easily spend more time taxiing than you spend in actual flight. (The terminal is quite nice though.)

I seem to remember that the Denver International symbolism is in some ways masonic....

Conspiracy theorists and nuts (David Icke etc.) believe under the airport to be the secret HQ of the New World Order or whatever bollocks Lizard people they reckon rule the world....
