Confirmation that the swamp really is a giant Meccano set, more exposed steelwork than Blackpool tower. The rest of the video is very good - the changes in the city's skyline over even the last 10-15 years are astonishing.

Must be more sunshine around The Etihad than the Swamp too... there's far more solar panels on the house roofs around our stadium.

Not completed yet mate, brick faced precast and the sails still to go on.
The horizontal panels kill it.

I’ve only gone a done it. :-/
I never thought I would do it. :-?
But after quite a bit of consideration, I’ve bought a………
Toneof bluetooth selfie stick.(don’t laugh) :-)
It will allow me to take pictures without having to hold my mobile with both hands, and I will be able to take pictures easier through gaps and over hoardings. I’ll give it a go at the end of the week. If it’s shite I’ll send it back to Amazon.

All these years it has taken you, lol.

I've said before, your photos often look like you are on site. I used to wonder this in the past, but now I know. This stick thing might make it feel even closer.
