For a City of only 400k its remarkable for its amenities.

Arcades are lovely.

The new shopping centres are manufacture type nice I guess ?

The two main streets have suffered, as most have from the decline of high street retail ,(that's all if our fault)

Met an Aussue at the Ashes , he just couldn't get the number of stadiums and arenas we have .

We got a castle and gargoyles.

We got wonderful parks that stretch for miles .


We have a bay .

Tram system would nail it (I'd congestion charge cars to pay for it.)

Pubs have lost thier identify, though .

Music venues not great

Think we have sold out to the corporate chains (pity we hadn't copied the Bristol independence model )

However , I would struggle to live anywhere else.

I love my City.
