I can relate with Mrs. Thomas Goulding's expression that Charles Elliott so carefully painted in competition with the daguerreotpye in 1858.
For me, and seemingly the majority of the population, it represents a line by line, unpleasing and dissenting look that these hard economic times have brought to the years of 2011, 2010, and 2009!
I'm ready for the new year and new beginnings in Birmingham!
Happy New Year's Eve everybody!
