lots of cities were in bad shape after the bombing, some more than others, for many years, some evidence of the bombing may still be seen today I imagine, were we slower than others to rebuild our country, I wonder? of course all our cities are in better shape now I notice as I travel about, maybe the fact that monies returned from eu. being specified for certain projects, has helped speed up the rebuilding and modernising of our country, sometimes I wonder if this money would have been spent wisely, if we had not been a member of the eu.
