    Proof, if needed, that Sunderland is older than the USA.

    Couple of things.

    In between you can see these cobbles, clearly there from a street, you can see the camber... we think it looks tailor-made for horses to walk on.
    Firstly, if that's the standard of English that can get you a job at the BBC, I must send off my CV.

    Secondly, on photo 2 - that's an awfully good kerb. Maybe current council workers can take note!

    You're not wrong. It IS a good kerb aswell.

    Why are they all wearing hard hats though? Is the sky going to fall?

    A lad at work was visiting relatives in the us and one of them was spunking up about how his house was over 100 year old and no one owns a house as old as his. Geoff said most the houses back where he lives in fulwell are at least that old and a church down the road was started about 700, the kid butted in and said no way is there a building 700 years old where you live and Geoff said you're right, they started it about 1300 years ago, 700 ad ish!
