I have two friends here from Yorkshire, they’ve lived here a few decades. One is from the city and one is just west of it.

Some day I must go there. That’s where my favorite early British authors wrote (couldn’t stand the southern ones).

Architecture brought down the Malta govt? Amazing.

Sliema Bay is beautiful in that photo except for that red high-rise.

I was hardly architecture but corruption, how much was paid to get the permission to build in view of the fact that for years all applications to build had been denied because of the area´s protected status?

Anyway it became a big scandal against the Conservative government which lost the next election.

That High-rise does seem out of place with the general height requirements, maybe something crooked had to do with that also.

I was born in the city of Hull, in Yorkshire, which is the biggest county in England. Many of you will remember the BBC production of "All things bright and Beautiful," and "All creatures great and small," written by James Herriot a Yorkshire vet.
