What you've never had, I suppose, you'll never miss. So future new visitors to Lowgate might wonder at older folks shaking their heads and sighing a little at the loss of the 1970s brown glazed façade of the block opposite Holy Trinity. Gone forever now the near perfect reflections that any and I guess every local photographer and tourist snapped up on their first trip around town ... I know old empty offices serve no purpose and folk need places to live and poor threatened landlords die such a painful death without income ...and all the rest... so anyway here are new apartments whose occupants will no doubt complain about old folk pointing their crooked fingers at their windows, shaking their heads and sighing.
Well, OK then just once more ... for old times' (and old timers') sake ...
*Shakes head and sighs*
I'd miss such a reflective surface too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the landlords... well, as I'm presently in a legal state of hostility with mine, to hell with them.
