    😏 Sadly, no, that was when architects could make a comfortable living. Neither do I have thick-rimmed glasses nor a pipe.

    From where I sit they did what was required.

    I've not nailed my colours to any side of the mast regarding Brexit. I can see why both parties can feel the way they do, but get outside of any of the East Midlands cities and the region is on it's knees, has been since coal and steel was ripped away in the mid 80's. Even the cities are mere shadows of what they once were as all the money is siphoned into London and the south-east these days.

    If only we'd kept a manufacturing base, like John Smedley, we'd be far better able to cope with the challenges ahead, but first Thatcher and then the rest of the political illuminati decided sellling the majority of the country down the pan was acceptable to keep London in the land of milk and honey.

    No country should be built predominantly on a service economy, far too much of it is a Ponzi scheme. It might be time for certain parts of the country to share the pain that many of us in the Midlands and the North have been feeling for the past 40 years or so, too.

    Sorry, but men simply don’t do this.

    Other genders and/or lifeforms may consider it acceptable.

    No.

    You think it’ll make you look big and muscled. You’ll just look like you really piled it on over lockdown.
