Just in case anyone thinks that here in Britian we don't keep our nutters well looked after, here's where we keep them ...

I watched a show , I think on the History Channel International, a few months ago on Broadmoor . It was about the womens side of it .

Quite a pretty building, actually. I'm assuming it's nicer on the outside than the inside.

I had never heard of that Dr Minor. Did he go insane quite quickly? It seems that highly intelligent people have a gene in them that not only makes them smart, but also a bit mad. Strange...

In answer to your question, Broadmoor is a lovely place on the outside but from my brief visits there (in the course of work, not as an inmate!!) I can confirm that the bits I've seen are in that grim style so favoured by hospitals and schools all over.

Yeah, that institutional fashion, guess it's the same all over, no matter what the exterior looks like.

There's some universal rule, known only to institutional designers, that obliges them to use that horrid green shade as much as possible. They're able to win extra design points if they're able to include that lumpy paint that looks like it's had old oatmeal stirred through & skins your elbows if you bump against it.
