This lady's fashion style rocks

[@db5094]

I agree

[@andreasplosky8516]

It was the first thing I noticed.

[@CowmanUK]

I was born in Manchester, as were my parents. I've worked at Manchester Town Hall (not a bad office!), and John Ryland's is still my, and my wife's, favourite building on Earth. Yes I've visited many other places. I've been to London. Egypt. Paris. (not Rome, sorry to say), America. But John Ryland's is a special place, and that's before you look at the exhibits they house. Look it up. You may be surprised.

Oh! I meant to say Great Video! I will, separately.

[@Xxlr830]

I fell in love with this place, such a beautiful masterpiece!

[@louise_rose]

Yes, what an amazing edifice and for a very laudable purpose! 💗💗

I'm in high school right now, but i'm going to go to college to be a librarian and i definitely will apply here!

[@FreemasonV8]

Why would you have to go to college to be a librarian…?

[@CowmanUK]

Great video. I loved it. Thank you for such a great factual and enthusuastic (ish) review of my home City, and my favourite building in that city. And that includes the Roman ruins and the Town Hall I used to work in.

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]

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.

The past had much more thought in huge fantastic designs from ancient times and up until the late 1900s then the changes started to happen. Building decor today very bland boring I would have a victorian mansion over a modern mansion of today. The woods and leather were fantastic. Today big mansions are usually neutral bright colours with huge screens for tv and just plain boring. No Real mastery of the guilds anymore just plastic and mass production.

Its screaming Harry potter

[@dddz961]

'Shall us go inside' is not English. How embarrassing!
