    I will have to check with the other authors and members, but I think for now they can go ahead and tentatively call it the Honorary ChickenMonkeyDog Center for Incredible Stuff

    …that is, until someone comes along who actually wants to donate money for naming rights. I could send them a postcard or a t-shirt for the honorary title.

    I concur.

    @ Conall + Jim,

    As it’s in the UK, I believe it’s more likely to be a ‘centre’ than a ‘center’.

    I think it should be dubbed “The Jim Hacker Building for Public Policy”

    Trust me… this is rich in humor.

    @Liam, I think we should finally get over this issue as grown-up countries and agree on the correct spelling of the word: “senturr”.

    On a side note, the building should house the English as a Second Language department and have its name in big white letters with a red background.
