Find it quite weird to think I was born only 19 years after the 1966 World Cup. Seem like totally different worlds (not that I actually remember 1985, bar what I've seen in Back to the Future...)

Entente Cordiale signed in 1904, cripes. But I'm going to go with Otto Wagner's Postsparkasse in Vienna because it looks all modern and makes me feel less ancient.https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/otto-wagner-vienna-austria-modernism-architecture-blog …
