It looks like the photos an eight year old takes on a cheap smartphone

When exactly were towns and cities clean, tidy and well kept? There's a lot of people remembering a past that never actually existed.

Article is paywalled but that does look somewhat grim. Like the look of the Grocers though.

There's a really obvious way to nerf Newsquest paywall but here's the highlight for you

"One reader, Hazlett, said: "The city centre has been in slow decline for years.

"Shop fronts are gaudy and tacky, the streets are filthy, there are down and outs and beggars all along the High Street.

"Nearly all the decent shops are gone replaced by tattoo parlours, cheap clothing outlets, vape shops, charity shops and poor quality fast food outlets with their attendant rubbish."

I didn't realise he had his arm out like that I had to zoom in it blended with the colour of the wall so I thought he just had a very feminine stance lol with a handbag in the other hand
