00:00We were actually just saying on the way in, obviously, all of the new buildings and infrastructure and stuff.
00:05It's going to be a bit impressive, but then we were kind of complaining about maybe the car pot prices
00:09going on and things like that.
00:11It's looking a lot better in places, but I still think there's an awful lot to do.
00:15Well, since I've grew up in Gator, so it's not too far over.
00:19But I mean, it's changed more with shops and stuff like that.
00:21I mean, it's a lot more modern now.
00:23You've got all these different shops.
00:25It's all new stuff, and especially more things that you usually would have seen in London and stuff.
00:30It's all coming up.
00:32Keyside was not what it's like today, and the whole city has changed dramatically.
00:37My son went to university here, and so I did see parts of it, and it's changed dramatically.
00:46The architecture was just stunning, so you can't beat that.
00:52I mean, Grey Street is to die for, and I'm from Lancashire, so it's not like I'm biased about it,
01:00but it's just terrific.
01:03It gets steeper and steeper, though, I've noticed, as I get older.
01:07I think it's a shame in some respects because it takes away the Newcastle heritage and, obviously, for things like
01:15the shipyards and stuff.
01:16The high-rise, again, it's spoiling all the greenery around St James' Park, but I know it's needed for the
01:24city, really, to bring money and tourism in.
01:26So, it's a catch-22.
