House construction

You obviously we're rearing in a council house built in the 50's

Housing contruction in the North is better than its ever been, there's still cowboy builders, but they're few and far between. The regulations are far tighter than they ever were and that's a good thing.

I'd say there was some shítholes built in the south during the boom all the same when building regulations were 'relaxed' ala those appartment blocks with no Fire certificates and so forth...
You're both right/wrong. Standards have maybe gone up in the north anyway, social housing is all much better quality and more and more mixed developments are being built which is a positive. Private developments in the last 20 years are a bit of a joke. Builders trying to squeeze as many houses into one site as physically possible, you're left with neighbours living on top of each other with little breathing space and tiny gardens

Financial choice. 20 years ago there were building societies and functioning banks

Comedy. Smaller range of people making it . Welfare cuts mean people can't spend years refining their techniques. Stewart Lees won't be a feature of the future.
Instead we get celebrity shite.
