HUGE whirring data centres are set to expand across the UK. Which parts of the country would you like to see replaced with one?
Francesca Johnson, swimming instructor: “Lancaster. The city has wronged me and my family too many times.”
Oliver O’Connor, level designer: “The Lake District. At the minute it’s just useless rolling scenery that stuns you with its natural beauty. It needs to start earning its keep.”
Julian Cook, HR consultant: “Would anyone be upset if Peterborough got turned into a soulless liminal space like a data centre? Would anyone even be able to tell if it had changed?”
Carolyn Ryan, florist: “Cheddar Gorge. It’s long overdue being filled in, so we might as well get a giant warehouse full of computers out of it.”
Roy Hobbs, piano tuner: “The entirety of Devon. Self explanatory.”
