I was watching Alan Yentob's take on Las Vegas last night (whilst Anne continued with her emetics), which was full of great shots of old neon signs, instantly recognisable from brat-pack movies and similar, but long since replaced by Venetian canals and dancing fountains.
And it kept making me think of the old Lucozade bottle that used to greet people to London on the elevated section of the M4. I used to love seeing that sign.
And then I thought about other landmarks of my life and the first that sprang to mind was the feeling of arriving home I'd get when catching sight of Eastville stadium (dog-track) on the M32. Now an IKEA, sadly, though that may well work as a landmark for someone else.
Anyone else lost a landmark of their life?

That should of course read "ratpack". Another landmark replaced!
