SIR – I was only thinking of how things have changed from the early 1950s and 1960s.
When I was a young boy there was plenty of work about.
It was a good job, I guess, as there was none of the benefits like today.
If you didn’t work you starved.
There were no taxis clogging our city. There were taxis, of course, but they were parked in a depot called the Silver Wings, opposite the old infirmary.
The taxis in the city today are getting more and more.
They’ll end up all along the Foregate and in time down the Tything.
Yes, our city is in a mess.
When I worked in Worcester in the late 50s-late 90s there were no empty shops.
These days even garages are selling food, so what chance did the shops have?
