Happy birthday sir!!! What are you doing nice today then? Yes some parts of the country were in a shocking mess in their quest to manufacture, refine, create, employ, build etc etc. Some parts of the Black Country were in a shocking state and some of the water courses never recovered. Levels of poisonous chemicals in the ground on the old industrial sites are still too high…. Progress eh? I do hope we do Cambodia. I’ll bear that place in mind.
