He has worked hard to get them, but some guys bust their hump in the gym and that never happens. I am happy for him, nice reward.

It was very dirty back in the day. I remember visiting as a kid and they were cleaning years of grime off the old buildings, they were black and the cleaning revealed the sandstone colours. Now the coal has gone and even diesel being phased out in the city it is getting cleaner.

One of the most significant effects of the pandemic is the decrease in demand after office space and increase in distance work. These will probably be lasting effects.
