Hmm, that reminds me. I was a few beers in outside The York on Islington High Street with Patrick, my friend from Cologne, and was waving enthusiastically at some of the the local Georgian architecture when he replied. "Yes. It is a shame we have nothing like that left in Cologne after the RAF had finished with it."
I could have replied that in 1941 you could stand at Old Street station and there was hardly a building standing between you and St Pauls Cathedral but felt it best to just steer the subject elsewhere.
