Sorry, need to amend my post-You're quite right, i meant play areas that are fenced off and have the swings and slides etc. That's a park to me!

Its just not particularly good, there was a picture of Paul Merson doing the ayatollah in there going around not long ago which I think says more about the place than I ever could
That does sound bad. There's another place on the corner that looks as equally desperate-Bar Cuba or something. Sod that.

Completely agree, my parents generation were proper piss heads (I'm 47) most of my mates parents would have a celebratory drink for the cats birthday-any excuse. My missus parents used to have all of their booze on display in a cabinet, like it was something to be proud of. I used to visit her when i was 14 and her old man would pour me a drink-he was offended when i said that i'd rather squash.

Revolution? Doesn't look great, there's another thing under their banner opposite the castle and that's a shithole. The same can be said of most of those kind of chains, Tiger Tiger was another but that has thankfully shut down
Womanby Street is one of the few bits of town with some originality worth going to, so the council will probably shut that down within the next few years

Agree, those places do look desperate. The borough is a good place to do some Alcoholic watching on a sunny day, outside.

When i was a kid the river was our playground. They've got the internet and all that goes with it, plus a couple of generations of over protective parents who seem to think that kids need their play to be organised and in a 'safe' environment, apart from more traffic on the road i'd say that it's never been safer for youngsters, especially in the more middle class areas.
The older generation seem to have more of a routine and seeing their friends face to face is more prevalent within that generation, I do understand that although they are taking a risk at the moment and it probably will hinder the progress made in coming out of this situation.
I do find it difficult to get angry at people who flout the rules a bit, especially when someone has been doing a certain thing for 50 years or more. I'm quite lucky in respect that i don't visit pubs, rarely use restaurants, shops to me are the work of the devil and being in large groups of people (apart from the city) is something that i've never enjoyed. The only thing i miss is driving to the coast with my dog, going on long walks in the countryside and sport, oh yeah, and seeing my mum :hehe: Apart from that it's a pretty normal existence for me.
I've been for a walk along the Rhymney River..... Did you mean middle aged man walking his dog or wanking off his dog?
I've only ever seen one of the above.
