  I’m puzzled. Northern Rock closed 12 years ago. The photo though doesn’t look that old?

    Not much has changed in 12 years, another reason time perception is needed nowadays

    1980 to 1992 was a massive cultural change, 2013 to now is nothing.

    I mean, they’re offering a 1 year fixed rate bond and paying 6.71% interest, no wonder they went bust 🤭

      Ha. I guess that is the give away! I didn’t see that at first.

    Picture for the last 10-20 years can look quite similar without any real identification of the time. I sometimes play a daily game that gives you an image and you have to guess the time taken and place. Anything from the last 20 years shot on a camera and without any visible technology and just some random people and buildings can be quite indistinct. Could be 2004 or 2024. Hard to tell.
