Such a shame all the developments going on around the areas of the town and no shops to provide people with stuff they need but suppose its sign of the times all over country town centres are like this

You went to the Odeon, which closed in 1982, to watch "Back To The Future" in 1985......Laughed me head off at that, Terry. Great film as usual. Just enjoyed your Barnard Castle one from a few years back.

It’s a shame for all these shops shutting down. It’s like a ghost town in Sunderland now the top end of Sunderland looks nice with loads of people going online now but it’s a shame people losing their jobs all these top shops going for sad that many shops in Sunderland now, that’s why people comes to Newcastle. I want to see people going into Sunderland and giving money not giving our money to Newcastle. I wanted to be stayed in Sunderland the money everyone is going online now and it’s very sad to see these big shops gone.

Great video lads, great message about our dying highstreets because of convenience. A jail cell is convenient as well, bed, bog and food tray all in one little room. Sunderland city is being converted to a 'Smart City'. Not tidy smart but digital smart. Cameras and sensors talking to the smart phone in your pocket whether you like it or not. Highstreet shops knocked down or converted into residential. Smart cities, digital currency, smart devices, smart wearables all feeding their smart computers about us. The UN call it 'sustainable development'. The WEF call it Technocracy, just like the prison cities of China. KLD is onboard with all this stuff, his mam goes to Davos every year. Soon cities will be no fun at all especially if you live in a Smart city.
