Lovell and
Climate Change
Below are
extracts of letters between the house builder Lovell and Peter Shullot about
climate change. The letters in full are at the bottom of the page. This is one
of 65 sets of letters so you can find out what your supermarket, energy supplier
and car manufacturer, and oil companies, airlines, house builders and other
companies really think about climate change. The name Peter Shullot is
made up – it is an anagram of The Polluters.
To Stewart Davenport, Managing Director –
So Lovell is one of Britain’s oldest and most respected building names, offering
quality assurance and continuity. I always knew it. A long time ago I lived in
one of your homes. And now when I look back it’s like an ex-lover who I can
remember too much about.
I’m looking to invest in one of your homes for my errant son, Wayne. Presently
he spends too much time out on the lawn lying in bed in the windless nights of
June. So it’s time he took some responsibility. But first I want to take
confidence that your homes of the future won’t be overtaken by the hysteria
about climate change.
Kevin O’Cloud
on Big Designs showed concrete with fewer so-called CO2 emissions but at an
astronomical cost. Will this become the standard? How will I afford one of your
fine starter homes if its construction has trebled the price?
It’s time for all this environmentalism to stop
before we all end up living in tepees offering all the security and comfort of a
wet weekend in
Glastonbury. Your excellent slogan,
Relax – your
home,
would become a joke to be mocked by self-satisfied stand-up comedians who think
to swear every other word passes as humour.
Stewart Davenport replied –
I enclose a copy of our new homes directory for summer 2007 detailing all of our
current and new future sites.
