    Our Public Spaces Are SO DULL AND UNINSPIRING.. when I see the Creations of the Past and I see the FAKENESS AND ILLUSIONARY IDEA OF CREATIVITY "ENGINEERS", "ARCHITECTS" AND "ART MAKERS" are Promoting today ... they are So NOT HARMONIZED with LIFE ITSELF.. It's just a Fake HOLYYWOOD STYLE FAKE Movie SET THAT will NOT LAST FOR more THAN 40 YEARS... JUST ENDLESS STUPID WORK NEEDING CONSTANT REPLACEMENT... ISNT THIS THE DEFINITION OF STUPID?? PARENTS, STOP PLAYING STUPID ESPECIALLY SINCE YOUR KIDS ARE GONNA HAVE TO REBUILT EVERYTHING YOU MADE THAT BROKE WAY TOO SOON.. 2 LIVES/GENERATIONS WASTED DOING THE SAME STUPID WORK OVER AND OVER... THAT'S MENTAL SLAVERY FOR YOU...TOTAL OCCULTING OF A FREE LIFE IN GOD S TEACHINGS OF GOODNESS, UNCONDITIONAL SERVICE AND LOVE AND FORGIVENESS... Exit the Rat Mill...

    Not a criticism, but I have never heard anyone say "Shall us . . . " before, as opposed to "Shall we." Is that a normal usage in England?

      @PeterJones-xp2lg 7 месяцев назад

      It's a slightly jokey colloquialism that you will probably hear between friends. You won't hear it in a formal speech or lecture. YT videos made in other anglophone countries often throw up expressions that I have not heard before, sometimes things I don't even understand.

    You ripped west Gorton apart. Can i ask why you spent 7 million pounds for 5 year, then not long afyer Shameless came out you destroyed it. I lived in a place called longnor walk ' The Square '... i lived there from 75 till 1990. I miss the old west gorton , i suppose we were were rougher than the rest hast it was all maisonettes an high rises, an industrial estates. By time they were getting rid of all buildings an industries, its was dangerous but i loved it, it was dangerous at times as west gorton kind of connected to fort Ardwick in longsight. Yes id love to know all that money was spent, then pulled the plug. I herd it was the embarrassment once it was sold to yanks. Either way you blew a lot of money and we would still have a West Gorton.

    I was very glad to hear him talking about who were the workers who kept this country going during the pandemic, bus drivers, bin men, nurses and Doctors. Here in Lancashire all libraries remained open if not to stop in and browse but they did still offer there ordered books service and made up genre bags of six books on different themes, this meant that books were still available to the public. I admire the librarians who continued to work and kept those vital lifelines for some people open. Currently they are running a keep wrm initiative o help people through the cost o living crisis, apparently not all brilliant buisnessmen work in the private sector but many work for the library services.
